I am a Japanese Figma user.
Today, the design of the left and right panels of Figma (UI 3) was changed. Is it possible to revert this to the previous design?
This design is not cool. However, having a ruler on the right side of the left panel is functional. I think it would be good if users could choose which design to use.
Hey @Masa1, thanks for reaching out!
You can use the shortcut: Shift + \
Thank you for your reply.
Isn’t that the shortcut for “Show/Hide Pixel Grid”?
What I want to know is how to change the design of the left and right panels (see the image above).
If you know, please let me know.
If you are on Mac, may you can try this ⇧ + \
Thank you for your advice.
I tried it on Mac and Windows.
On a Japanese Mac, pressing Shift + Backslash is the shortcut for “Show pixel preview”.
When I tried the same operation on a Japanese Windows, it became “Minimize UI”.
So I went back to my Mac and checked the shortcut for “Minimize UI”, and it was Shift + Command + @.
Because I’m on a Japanese Mac, my reply to your advice was a little confusing.
I’m very sorry.
Now, back to my original question.
My question is not about “Minimize UI”.
This Tuesday, the design of the left and right panels of Figma UI3 was changed.
(Please see the screenshot I attached in my first post)
My question is,
“Is it possible to go back to the UI3 panels before the design change?”
Maybe I’m the only one experiencing the new panel design?
If so, I think it’s a confusing question.
Hey @Masa1, thanks for clarifying!
The UI3 team confirmed that the ⇧ + \ shortcut is actually a feature to minimize UI where the property panel still floats, but to be transparent, this is not an option to bring back floating panels.
Due to the overwhelming amount of negative feedback regarding the floating panels, we won’t be bringing the floating panels back to UI3.
I’ll update your topic into the feature request though to give the community the opportunity to vote for a shortcut to bring back the floating panels as an option in the future.
Hello dvaliao-san
Thank you for your detailed explanation and support!
Japanese users are also looking forward to the further development of Figma.
