Firstly great job Figma Font variables are here!!! Figma tutorial: Variables for typography The only thing missing is the use of percentages in the line-height property. You can not use a percentage in the line-height as it only accepts variables that are a number type. Although the variables for line-height caters for pixel (absolute) line-heights (10,12,14)- it does not accommodate relative line heights. In other words you can’t use percentage variables for line heights that are a percentage of the font size (100%, 120%,150%). Interestingly …You can use a variable for letter-spacing ( which accepts a number variable - but reads it as a percentage) - the challenge remains that line heights by default are absolute not percentages - even though you can input a percentage. Percentages allow greater flexibility and less calculations Word around would be to allow formula in a variable e.g. =[variable] * 1.5 Or figuring out a way for the line height to be toggle between absolute or relative
I want to add a youtube video inside my presentation, or add a link inside the presentation which people or myself could click
The new DevMode annotations tool is Awesome!!! Having lots of annotations tends to clutter up the screen on the design side, however, and it would be nice to be able to toggle their visibility on and off like with comments or multiplayer cursors. I had assumed that hiding comments would hide these as well, but such is not the case.
I have a main menu on mobile. It has 4 variants. (menu type: general or admin and state: open or closed) Within the main menu there are several dropdown menus, all their own component with two variants: open or closed. The goal is this: whichever menu variant the user starts from (general or admin) I want the dropdown to 1. navigate them to the correct page, which it doesand 2. close the main menu.. not just ‘change to’ closed which only closes itself. I’ve been trying to create some sort of conditional statement to make this work but I’m having a heck of a time. Anyone know how to do this? I’ll add a visual.
There are a ton of times where viewers add a comment by click-dragging a box around the item they are wanting to comment on. While this is super cool and I’m sure the comment thinks that doing this is helpful to provide context - and it is - it creates a headache if I am moving screens around and also want to keep that comment intact. This is really frustrating with large projects that have a lot of churn in the UI, and when there are a lot of comments. With a regular comment (no selection box) it is easy to do this - the comment, if attached to an object, will move with the object. I have searched for a way to convert the “box” comment to a regular comment but haven’t found how to do this. Could you add the ability to do this? Or just remove the box comments? Or is there a way to do this that I haven’t found? Thanks.
When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).
I have a display problem on the icons from Font Awesome 6: Instead of displaying the icons, the names of the codes of each one are displayed I can temporarily fix the problem using the quick actions: Select all with the same font Recompute text layout in selection But randomly the problem occurs again. What other things have I tried? Test with a partner to recompute the text to see if it fixed it for both of us at the same time to rule out that it is a local or cache problem. It is not tied to anything specific to windows or macos as it happens on both. We tried uninstalling the font and installing it again. When the characters are changed, it does not happen in the whole file, but in some sections (That section conflicts with the display all at once), which leads me to suspect that it may be a user with a font with a sub different version but I can’t verify it (since Figma does not communicate any error related to this).
Hello Figma Team, Please add “Number” Variable function for Ellipse Sweep Property, It will so much of helpful to create Pie diagram for prototypes,
I was thinking about that when I started a meet while I was working in other project, And I catch me looking to five or six tabs about two different projects and wondering this question, “why not group this tabs by project? Oh, yes… I’m in the app, not in the browser”
Following are a few things I found myself wishing for as I learned and used Figma Slides recently (it’s totally possible that you CAN do some of these things, and I just wasn’t able to find guidance on them on the interwebs, but I think I was pretty thorough in my search): Speaker notes section would benefit greatly from some not-too-major feature add-ons, like the ability to: Add comments/editing suggestions—When collaborating to build a presentation deck, our team wanted to give feedback/make suggestions as we built out the notes, but we had to find workarounds in order to do this. The ability to comment inside the speaker notes section would be hugely helpful. Better yet, having some baseline suggesting/editing capabilities similar to MS Word would be amazing. Use various text sizes and styling—to help build out headers, subheads, bullet/number lists, and to create emphasis (e.g. bold, italic, etc.) List styling—bullets, numbers, including indent levels to create hierarchy Add color
Now that we have the ability to make multiple pages in Figjam, I’m finding the need to consolidate some existing Figjams to create centralized files for particular projects or topics. As I move existing boards into the main file I’m creating, I’m unable to also move comments that are in the original files, and it’s 100% important to retain those with their corresponding layouts. For example, I had a board that was for a discovery phase, and there were many team comments added to it as we were learning and sharing info. I wanted to combine it with the board where we were now in the ideation phase so everything for this project would be contained in a single file, but I had to screenshot the comments from the discovery file and add them to the new file as images directly on the board, or drop them as images into new comment bubbles in the new file. Please make them portable between files in the future!
After publishing the component library, sometimes and in some places that are using these elements, they are completely broken and when clicking on them they return to normal, so I believe it is a bug. Has anyone reported something similar? Does this have a solution? It ends up disrupting the daily workflow. I've already done the troubleshooting reset and reloaded the window
Hey everyone,I work extensively with Figma prototypes, and one functionality I feel is really missing is onScroll. the ability to trigger interactions based on scroll events (similar to scroll animations or parallax effects available in other tools). Does anyone know if Figma plans to add this feature in the near future?If not, are there any smart workarounds to achieve scroll-based animations within Figma itself without relying on external tools? Would love to hear your thoughts!Thanks!
When I use the shift-i keyboard shortcut and search for a component, I can’t differentiate between similarly-named components. The name is cut off after 11 or 12 characters. No additional info is shown on hover. Some of my components have similar names. Two examples are “toolbar experiment 1” vs “toolbar experiment 2” and “comp-input-search” vs “comp-input-string”. These look the same in this popover. How can I see the full names of the components that show up in this popover?
Hello, Is there a way that I can convert this into a vector but keep the gradient color scheme? This mechanical gear is part of my company logo and I noticed after I converted the PNG into a vector image that it changed all the colors to black. I would appreciate any help I could get with this.
I am trying to make a calendar component, which is using an instance of a date component with variants (default and hover) for each date of the month. I need to define a variable based on which date instance that is clicked in the hover state - so I am refining the interaction for each date in the month component. When this is done, and I set the state back to default and refresh Figma, the interaction in hover state is reset back to the interaction from the original date component. Is there a way around this, if I need to be able to add interactions to hover state instances?
