Figma Desktop App Beta Testing (January)
October 7, 2019 at 5:21pm (Edited 1 year ago)Hello!
We have a new desktop app beta build for you:
(links removed because we're released the update to everyone, thanks for testing!)
The changes are internal, mostly consisting of upgrading the underlying Electron framework to a newer version. The most visible effect should be faster performance when opening files.
We would really appreciate your help in testing out this build. Please let us know if you notice anything unusual.
Thank you!

Official release 76 build 4 is ok. But release 81 today starts with absolutely blank screen instead of drafts/recent list. Yesterday it was ok, but with today's improvements the start screen is broken. Nothing helps. I tried to clean all figma files, restart macOS and reinstall again. Blank screen in release 81, and all ok in release 76.

+1 on blank screen beta, had to revert back to release build. Worked fine otherwise until today.

+1 4 #fff
the issues with overlay and switch have stil not been resolved. Bummer. Realy. I tried everything from clip content to mask components and frame still no success. This makes me look bad when presenting my prototype to my stakeholders last friday. yep. not happy. I so wish switch will literally only switch that very one element
