Thanks for sharing. Figma is such a slow mover. Scalable panels is something I've had in all creative software since the 80's, for Figma to have resize properties as an update in 2024 is down right comical. And I'm dying to move that bottom bar! It should be floating. I would have moved it to the top if I could, or even docked it like a side panel, just like I'm moving and arranging my UI in any Adobe application. I like to save my own workspace presets to serve my needs. Figma could have used some of that 2 billion they received from the failed Adobe acquisition to make this V3 up to par. Flexibility is key, we shouldn't be forced to accept fixed solutions like this.

I'm curious to see if they have solved the nightmare of having to manually pick what library to search content from EVERY single time, instead of having a memory function or a checkbox to tick with a "remember this" label. This is when your connected to several libraries. It's terrible like it is today. I joined the UI3 waitlist two weeks ago but there's no change, so I guess I'll have to wait and see, haven't seen any demos of that scenario yet.
