The UI can get over crowded with annoying frame/component names hanging off their top edges. I have not found a way to disable/hide these. Please tell me there is a way! 🙂

This is super awesome, thank you!!


Thank you for your feedback! Happy to hear you liked the plugin. Feel free to share any suggestions!


Hello all,


This worked for me: Changing the name of the label to blank space.


This needs to be fixed ASAP. Grouping everything is not a solution – it adds another layer of hierarchy and complexity. And neither is making names blank, because layer names are absolutely necessary.


Need to keep this one alive.


Replying to keep this alive.

One of the key use of Frame is Auto Layout.

Auto Layout is very useful… and therefore is used a lot. The frame title becomes an appendage that often times just get in the way.


Current workarounds and their cons:

Grouping

Lacking Auto Layout, has different scaling and aligning behaviours.

Make into component

Not suitable for more ad-hoc, few-use patterns - which can happen a lot.

Nest into another Frame

Might be the closest solution… but nesting creates scaling and movement behaviour that are not always welcomed – especially with the new Section as the alternative, which is more flexible for organization (yet section shows the frame title). Nesting also makes click to select harder, and creates bloat in the left-side list of layers.

Plug In

Not as reliable and easy to use vs native product feature. May have to pay, undesirable especially for such simple Display Option that seems naturally should be part of the product.


Commenting to keep this alive. Please, this is a low hanging fruit. I don’t know how many needlessly grouped frames I have just so I don’t have to see the label names; now I spend all my time double clicking into autolayouts 🥸


+1 here!!! My brain is overworked enough without the extra noise! Assumed this would be an easy toggle off…


Came here from a quick google about this question.

+1 here too (although not holding my breath since this thread is from May 2021!) 😊


Was really hoping we’d get an update for this with the new UI.


+1 here too. Simple request. Why adding all the grouping plugin extra work and clutter?


You can use this plugin for hiding sections and frames names.

The names stay hidden even if you close the plugin.

i bet its extremely ez to add this feature same as with toggleable rulers/layout visibility 


3 Years, 4+ pages of replies and nearly 70K views on this thread and yet we don’t have this very basic option?

Absolutely Ridiculous.

I, like most others, don’t want to run extra plug-ins or rename all these annoying frames with blank spaces (which makes navigating the page structure impossible from the layers panel -- which isn’t really a solution). I want a real setting I can turn on that hides frame names.


You can type a SPACE in the frame name and voila! No label


@Deena Yeah, sure, you could do that... If you want to have no idea what’s in your layer stack. But for those of us who are professionals working with complex files and large teams, who, like professionals, adhere to best practices and label our layers/frames/assets properly, “Just make the frame name a blank space” is absolutely not the answer.

What we’re asking for is the ability to hide visual frame names on the Figma stage, not make our layer stack useless. 


So just another simple user request Figma decides to ignore. 


I’m new to Figma.  I just discovered these labels can’t be hidden - seems absolutely bizarre.  And to ignore the community outcry for 4+ years? Even more bizarre.  

 

I develop software and I certainly can’t claim to know their situation but it reeks of either incompetence or complete disregard for your user-base to allow an issue like this to linger for so long (and offer no communication on it either).  

 

Who ever thought that baking clutter into your app about UX design was ever a good idea in the first place?  Seems like losing the plot from the very start..

 

Not at all a good first impression.
