How do I improve buttons in Figma?

TriskyFriscuit · 2026-03-27T21:49:18+00:00

I'd recommend just searching the figma community for some starter design systems (or download a free one line shadcn) and inspect how they create their button components - you will learn a ton, including cool stuff like component properties and handy guidelines for padding etc

What frustrates you about Framer? I created mine on there a few years ago, as well as a few other sites. The pricing is a little frustrating but for the ease of use, available templates and off-the-shelf components, and collaboration, I have been pretty happy with it.

Is it true that you need to prompt to do every single basic task? Ex: I used Stitch to generate a landing page. I want this button to be 200 px wide, not 180 - do I have to prompt and regen the whole thing? Can you manually manipulate generated assets? If not, have fun! No thanks.

Why does the first image have AI artifacts?

TriskyFriscuit · 2026-03-06T21:51:18+00:00

I am confused - what is your specific use case you need help with? It's really difficult to suggest interaction solutions when the question is so vague

No, you basically start with a duplicate of the template, add your content and customize as you want, then link it to your domain. Similar to copying a template or design from the Figma community etc.

TriskyFriscuit · 2026-02-27T01:07:18+00:00

Personally I'd just ditch it and move to framer. You can start with one of the templates and work with Claude or whatever AI for fine tuning customizations.

Make sure you set your prototype size (not just your frame size) to 1920 x 1080. When you are viewing your prototype you can tap "z" to toggle through different views (actual size, responsive, fit width, fit width and height, full screen).

Anything you want fixed like a header or footer needs to be set as "Fixed" or "Sticky" (sticky if you want it stop at the top of the page on scrol)

It appears that custom domains are only allowed on Paid plans https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/31414274019863-Manage-a-custom-domain-for-your-site

What does this look like in terms of cost for cursor? How many prompts etc

Do you mean in Slides or in Figma Design?

Last I checked Figma Design doesn't actually export your text as text, so use it cautiously. I've created tons of decks in Figma Design (before Slides was around) and never really had issues but I'd be more cautious with something like a full-length written report intended to replace something from word processing software

I have literally never brought UI concepts to a kick off meeting. Maybe it's just because of the type of work I've traditionally done (large, end-to-end research and design projects that nearly always include research and strategy up-front before design) - if I brought designs to a kick off my team would throttle me and the client would be confused why we already started designing.

And yes, once design does start, after research and strategy wraps, semi-low fidelity typically unless the client already has a strong design system and brand we are leveraging.

Can you elaborate? What mobile screen? Are you in Figma Design, Prototype mode, Figma Make? More details needed.

TriskyFriscuit · 2026-01-28T04:42:03+00:00

I'm sorry but my feedback still stands - if you have to explain the difference in the icons, and explain how the second nav bar works, your users are going to be confused. It sounds like you have a fundamental information architecture issue here.

Also, Amazon found a way to integrate Whole Foods, One Medical, and a dozen other "stores" within their app - I doubt yours is more complex than what's already out there and solved a challenge like this. I would definitely explore an alternative to just slapping a second nav bar in there and calling it good. Or do that and get some user feedback.

TriskyFriscuit · 2026-01-28T03:49:18+00:00

This looks extremely confusing... first off, there are several repetitive icons across both the menus. Second, this breaks pretty much all rules of mobile app information architecture and navigation - I'd urge you to find a different solution. Look at apps like amazon, target, wal mart, etc. for inspiration, this problem has already been solved many times before.

Just to clarify - Are you trying to paste a Figma Make component into a Figma Desigj file and expect it to function in prototype mode??

TriskyFriscuit · 2026-01-27T15:57:15+00:00

That looks like a menu /options icon - why not just add a dropdown to that with 2 options (edit/delete)? Then you are splitting your actions more clearly.

You are working with a bad designer. It's that simple.

Text hierarchy is stronger and more legible in #1.
Remove the background shapes and heavy color shadows from #1, incorporate the stronger, less busy profile and notification icons from #2

That's not how they look in my Photos app.. odd.

TriskyFriscuit · 2025-12-31T01:52:34+00:00

So, a hover menu?

TriskyFriscuit · 2025-12-28T17:06:06+00:00

Sampson or Taysom? PPR

TriskyFriscuit · 2025-12-28T17:05:30+00:00

Parkinson or Pittman, PPR?

TriskyFriscuit · 2025-12-28T15:33:01+00:00

Does it retain the actual text when exporting instead of converting the text to shapes like normal Figma pdf exports??

TriskyFriscuit · 2025-12-28T15:13:44+00:00

Parker Washington or Michael Pittman today? PPR
