Favicon on tabs to easily identify the tab type ( figma, figjam, prototype)


Edward_Battistini

As an awesome designer I always have loads of tabs because I help everyone with my super powers. Sometimes it gets really hard to find the right place to go in my figma app.

If I could have a very subtle visual clue to help me jump accross my a tabs i would become an even more awesome designer.

Here are some jams

Hi @Edward_Battistini ,

I like to work with icons as well and as I use Notion on a daily basis, it’s really becoming a habit of mine to scan my files by their icons.

It’s not automatic as you suggest, but I found a hack to have icons on my files: I’m adding unicode emojis in front of my file’s & page’s names.

You can just rename your file :
Capture d’écran 2021-04-28 à 15.27.12

Then you can see it in your tabs:

you can see the result on the right tab of a prototype launched from a page within a file, with the icon of the page in front of it

Hope it helps !

Will def do this! thank you

I like this idea, but perhaps something a lot more subtle since it could get pretty visually noisy to have a lot of tabs open.

I think Favicons may be coming, they are visible in my personal figma but not org one… AB test maybe?

I also love the detail!!! if you have an emoji it will use it instead of default file favicon!! Well done FIGMA team! this rocks!!

So this was just implemented and honestly…it’s kind of made everything miserable for me. I used the character or three I could see to be able to quickly navigate between the files i need open and now…I can see why half my coworkers use the browser version to avoid this mess…

Agree here with @Kara_Miekina 100%. This was a major step back imo, there was already a way to add emojis to the project and filenames if that’s what somebody wants to spend time doing but managing larger projects with lots of tabs open doesn’t have the range of possibilities of the entire internet favicon options so this just added more work to have to rename everything with emoji’s that aren’t always brand appropriate 🤡 👾 👺
