@figma Oh my gosh. Time to add glass to literally EVERYTHING! 🤩

@figma It’s always fun to look at your work through a new … lens. 🫶🏽

@figma What happened to slots?

@figma Hey @miggi - any idea why my glass effect is disabled for a rectangle? I've tried it on a number of shapes and can only get it to work on frames yet..

@figma So the feature is rolling out this week to all users. Should be 100% by mid next week (a week from the announcement)—if all is going well with the deployment. Be sure to reload any "stale" tabs.

@figma ah dang, got a PERFECT use-case for this for a current project that can't be done currently without that feature😅 Anything you can do to nudge me along in that queue would be much appreciated 🤞🫣

@figma DM incoming.

@figma My sign to redesign my glazicons icon set with these features 😮💨

@figma It's wonderful, I really like it 🔥🔥

@figma Awesome breakdown! Figma's glass updates unlock creative potential.

@figma Hell yeah

@figma Can you shed any insight on how updates get pushed? I am STILL anxiously waiting on the new sidebar so I can have faster access to variables... it was announced weeks ago now

@figma Each rollout is a bit different. This Glass one will go out over the next week and be live for everyone. I don't have explicit insight into the sidebar, but I'll ask.

@figma @figma You announced this a month and a half ago - - it's a QoL I have been anxiously awaiting because I use Variables heavily, others seem to have it, why can't I get it to show up for me?

@rogie @figma Waiting for it to come to my account…

@figma You're doing well.

@figma Nice! Would love a behind-the-scenes on the challenges or strategies you encountered getting it to work with random shapes, etc.

@figma I will convert any type of design in clean custom code.

@figma Good 👍
