I have transitioned to Figma for the past 9 months and I’m loving it. However, 1 thing that bothers me is not being able to customize my own workspace like Adobe illustrator and Affinity designer.

For example, I use the alignment panel a lot then I should have the ability to move these panel around. Or if I don’t use the auto layout functionality at all then I should I have the ability to hide it from the UI and bring it back if needed in future.

By the way if customizable panels are going to be added in future then it should be global across all Figma files. Not scoped to 1 file.

Just a suggestion 🙂

Keep up the good work.

I have a huge monitor, my neck already hurts to keep looking up in the corner for the tools to tweak properties, I need to be able to drag the widget with the properties closer to what I am doings and resize the layer panel to the size I want even if it’s 3px only, or at least collapse, why so many restrictions around the sizes of the layers and pages panels. Frustrating.

each element has so many properties and there is not much in the way of visual distinction between them. to me the entire right panel is just visual clutter that i have to scrub though to find the tool, property, attribute, toggle, control, etc that i am wanting to manipulate. i love the idea of having illustrator style customizable panels. maybe now that adobe owns this, we can finally get a ui that is not fighting with the user.

  • the ability to undock the layer section from the pages and have it as a floating window.
  • let me drag the panels
  • let me minimize the right column or any window
  • let me have a floating comment window

The point is, let us customize, every user has a different workflow and different needs.
