Ignore auto layout in Figma by pressing space bar as you drag an object.

🧙♀️ 20 second tip 🧙♀️
Min width hack — to encode minimum width behavior in a button component, add a rectangle/frame with desired min width and .001 height. Figma will round the ".001" down to "0" and honor the width property. Longer labels will expand the container as expected.

+100. These actions are hard to get to. Current solution works for the lowest common denominator but perhaps the toolbar could adapt to wider viewports:
Hey
@figmadesign
there is a lot of space, why don’t we just remove the dropdown here?
Asking for all of my friends 🙏

One of my favorite details in Figma — you can have your component variants present as a toggle if you enter a boolean pair: yes/no, on/off, or true/false.

To copy the *style* of an element, select the reference object and press option + command + c, then select the target object and press option + command + v.
The stroke, fill, and corner radius all carry over.

Here's how I created the button component. It's important that the direction is vertical and the gap between is 0. Everything else is up to you.

Change the nudge amount in Figma to your liking. (Arrow keys for a small nudge and shift + arrow keys for a big nudge.) Can be helpful when working with an 8pt grid (set to 8) or when working on icons with finer detail (set to .5).
Shift + , opens Preferences.

Get you some Phosphor.
About a week ago we quietly launched version 2.0 of Phosphor, and we're really proud of it. 201 new icons, a ton of little conveniences added in our libraries and plugins based on your feedback, and a new style on our website. Hope you enjoy 👾

Shoutout to my partner in crime
@friedtm
Phosphor turned 4 yesterday.
It all started in our Brooklyn apartment in summer 2020, at the height of the pandemic, when our kitchen was our office and there was nowhere else to be.
A few icons became a few hundred, then a few thousand.

Accurate. Got mine today and I'm pretty disappointed after waiting so long for this. They did _not_ sweat the details.
@MaterialsOffice
I’ve finally received my along-awaited Altar I that I’ve been looking forward to for over a year! While it is a beautiful and unique keyboard, I feel that some of the design choices fall seriously short of expectations for the price point.🧵 (1/5)

• Scale elements proportionally ()
• Apply a stroke/border on just one side (or two, three sides)
• Register different rotations in a component variant
• Set negative padding in Auto Layout
• Undo create component

• Select element to set as reference point, à la Illustrator (handy when aligning things)
• Type dimensions and l/r/t/b to set reference point, à la Sketch (50r changes dimensions to 50 from the right side)
• More nuanced animations for prototyping
• Design token support

Huge kudos to the team
Today, we have an update we know many of you have been asking for: Code blocks with syntax highlighting are available in the Medium story editor. These have better readability, making it easier for your readers to understand and learn from your code.

I used Claquette, which has more granular control on the export but probably overkill for these clips

Sure. Let's say you want a leading icon. You'd group the icon + label in a horizontal auto layout.
For more nuance, you can also play with the padding so the button contents look centered. Adding an icon can throw off the optical alignment.

👏 While we're at it, does the bell need a plus sign at all? Is the envelope a confusing symbol for DMs since it typically represents email? 😬
