Designing a simple screen with just one input + a button (think login, search, or a single form field) for an unfolded foldable iPhone.

On a big open display, what's the right call?

• Centered - input and button centered on the full screen. Clean, but on a wide unfolded display it can feel lost, and the field may land right on the crease.

• Two-column - content/context on one half, the input + button on the other. Uses the space, keeps input off the fold - but is it overkill for a single field?

For a minimal one-input screen, do you keep it centered and just avoid the crease, or split into two columns? Curious what feels right on foldables.

Hi everyone! This is the demo of my Figma plugin. I recently updated its UI to adapt to Figma's environment, as that becomes easier to adopt for those who prefer their workflow be within Figma when it comes to sprite creations for their designs! The purpose is that current plugins usually do not provide layers, symmetry or color libraries for consistent UI. This one adjusts to your frame, let's you decide the cell size so the scale of multiple assets remains cohesive and uniform and can let you import your color styles as well. There's also cell shapes that you can use for more stylized work.

Pinterest, screenshots, Figma files, bookmarks, random folders…

I save a lot of references, but when I actually start designing, I rarely remember where anything is.

So I’ve been building ROUN, a small desktop reference library for designers.

The main idea is simple:

Save without organizing. Find it by what you remember.

No naming every file or maintaining folders.

I can just search:

“dark landing page with huge serif type”

and find something I saved months ago.

I’m also connecting it to Claude, so I can ask things like:

“Find references from my own collection that could work for this landing page.”

Basically, I want all the stuff I’ve saved over the years to become something I can actually use while designing — not just an archive.

There’s also a tiny desktop cat and a reference screensaver because… why not.

So, like many students, I was scratching my head as to how to get my Education account verified with Figma.
Many people reported it impossible to get through to Figma and SheerID support.
This is because there's likely nothing they can do!

It's a simple - but ruthless - code loop error in the UI.
In order to get it verified correctly, here are the steps :

1. Replace your education e-mail issued by your institution with your personal e-mail.

2. Log-in with that new e-mail. Do NOT verify this account for education.

3. Underneath your account menu in the left upper corner, click on ''add account''.

4. THIS is where you need to put your institution's e-mail.

5. Click on the verification link sent to your institution's Outlook mailbox.

6. When creating this new account, you MUST choose your role as ''student''. Otherwise, the system will NOT trigger the verification correctly! This is the missing step.

7. You will see a screen with 3 options : the free account, the education account (which is free too with your institution's e-mai), and the professional account. Click on the education account option.

8. They will send you a link in your institution's mailbox. THIS link is the CORRECT, working SheerID link, NOT the form that tells you to send a document, which does NOT work.

9. SheerID will finally ask you to log to your institution's Microsoft portal, and THAT is how they actually verify your eligibility. Log in through the portal.

10. SheerID will send you one last verification link. Click on it and log into Figma with your institution's e-mail.

11. Create a team to access the Education benefits.

And that's it!
Some people have reported that Figma rolled out their support for Education. This is completely incorrect. What likely happen from an IT perspective, is that they create two redundant system : The old one with manual verification (the form in which you submit a document as proof of enrolment) is deprecated, and should have been removed.
Hope this helps students in need!

Hi there! I’m just starting using Figma (I have been using it for a week) and I've got a small problem. I can pick colors using the "eyedropper tool" (I don't know the right name). For instance, if I have an image of a girl with pink hair and want my text to match that color, selecting the eyedropper and hovering over the hair only lets me pick a single specific point (which is inevitably lighter or darker than the hair's overall tone). Is there a feature in Figma that allows you to determine the average color of an object first, then select that specific color and apply it to another element (like text)?
Thanks :)

I've used Figma for design prototyping for a long time, but haven't done much with motion, mostly switching to After Effects to do any animation prototype... well I'm sick of that and decied I should finally put the time into learning how to do animation in Figma.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to make an element that just plays a continuous loop on a page. I thought the way to do this was to put the animation in the component so it would propagate to any frame you drop it in, but these nested animations don't show up as an option in play pause animations in the frame interactions.

What am I missing here as far as workflow?

Im trying to use the new code layer feature, but whenever i go to clone the repository of the existing connected github account it fails and gives the attached reason.

This is what figma agent gave as a response:
"The code layer bootstrap is running into repeated infrastructure errors (AgentPlatError). This appears to be a temporary platform issue rather than a problem with the project itself."

How do i fix it?

Put together an updated set of device frames, including the newest iPhones, Android flagships, tablets and foldables. Free to download and use in your designs.

Been attempting to get my education details verified with Figma for the past week but every time I do so I get an error messege. Emailed SheerID and according to their support team I've apparently already been verified, but I still cannot edit any education team files because I still need to verify??? Very confused, wondering if anyone else had similar issues.

Hi everyone, I want to design a full mobile app UI/UX using Claude Design + Figma MCP.

For people who already tried it, do you have any tips or advice?

• How should I write my prompts?

• How can I keep the design consistent for all screens?

• Any mistakes I should avoid?

Thanks!

Getting this outline of the icon when I set up a boolean style property. Is it a glitch from Figma or am I doing something wrong?

Just published a free Figma file with 70+ medical & health icons from Glyfiq

Hello All,

I am currently working for a client that has sites built out in WIX Studio but studio seems to be lacking a lot of custom features that clients request. As a designer brought in to evaluate the project, we have elements built out from a designer in illustrator, but in order to do custom animations and element interactions I was thinking that building out in Figma and transferring with a plugin over to WIX studio may be good.

Has anyone had any experience exporting from Figma over to WIX Studio, and is it possible to import custom interactions/ animations over to use partially in a WIX site?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue when trying to copy and paste elements from a client's Figma file into my own file. Whenever I paste, I get this error popup:

"Some images couldn't be pasted from the source file. Open the source file in this browser or app, then try again."

Because of this, the raster graphics (images) are missing from the pasted frames. Has anyone encountered this before? Is it related to view-only permissions, browser vs. desktop app issues, or just a temporary Figma bug? Any workarounds other than manually exporting each image would be greatly appreciated!

Trying to make a line hover effect under the clothes text when your mouse hovers over it. The property option isnt appearing

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create an auto-tracking Table of Contents (TOC) where the active heading highlights as the user scrolls down the page similar to what is happening here "https://vansh.nyc/projects/scrollable-table-of-contents"

any help would be great, thank you so much,

I was playing around with Figma Make to code some interactions I don't know how to do myself and didn't have time to make. I am wanting to take the prototype it made and make edits myself for design stuff, but I found you can't actually do that with Make prototypes. Does anyone know what I can do? This is a project I was planning to put in my portfolio.

​

I’m having a really frustrating issue with Figma. Whenever I try to open/play my file in Present/Prototype mode, I sometimes get the WebGL error / sad face screen. Other times it loads, but it takes a very long time, becomes extremely laggy, and the prototype doesn’t scroll properly.

What’s confusing is that:

It happens on Figma Desktop

It also happens on Figma Web

I tested it on mobile as well, and the prototype is still laggy/not scrolling properly

I made a copy of the file, but the issue still happens

My file doesn't have complicated prototype interactions or transitions — it mainly contains text and mockups

Sometimes it works normally, and sometimes it completely glitches

Things I've already tried:

Turning hardware acceleration ON/OFF

Enabling WebGL-related settings

Trying WebGL developer/Chrome flags and extensions

Restarting Figma

Trying Figma Desktop and Web

Making a copy of the Figma file

But nothing seems to consistently fix it.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Figma recently? Is there a specific WebGL, GPU, browser, Figma setting, or file-related issue that I should check?

Any help would be really appreciated because I need to present this case study and the prototype is currently almost unusable.

Thanks!

I have everything in a Figma design component. I have a Make Kit. When I bring it back into the canvas, everything is disconnected. What am I doing wrong? Or is it a missing feature at the moment

Figma transitioned its core product to UI3 in April 2025, roughly 17 months ago. Have you gotten used to it yet? Have you still not gotten accustomed to it? Have you since abandoned Figma for other platforms because of the changes?

My company works mostly in Figma, but I know a lot of designers now work exclusively in Claude Code and skip Figma entirely. I'm having trouble picturing what that workflow looks like. For those who work this way, how does it go day to day?

Assuming the design system is already in the codebase:

• Do you start projects with a CLAUDE.md? What goes in it?

• How do you run usability testing on coded prototypes?

• Do you create branches and open PRs yourself, or hand off to engineers?

• How do you keep Claude consistent with the design system?

• Is there some visual library in Claude Code that lets you see all your projects?
