A collection of attractive geometric backgrounds, “generated by Human with AI”. Available for free for personal, studio, and commercial use.
Color variables can now be bound to gradient stops and saved as a style.
Free plugin for generating linear, radial, and conic gradients interpolated in a variety of color spaces, yielding richer, more brilliant gradients. Live updating so you can easily view and tweak the results.
36 free hand-crafted textures that can be tiled and recolored. Made by Mark Bennett, who crafts beautiful skeuomorphic interfaces and sells elaborate Figma projects at his community page.
“We’ve expanded our EU file hosting capabilities to support localization of videos and images in addition to previously supported assets. For Figma Enterprise accounts that are configured for EU file hosting, this upgrade will be applied to your account automatically with no action required on your part.”
Creating beautiful gradients in Figma just got easier! New controls for flipping and rotating gradients (see why they’re separate controls), displaying the gradient stop position in percentage (another yay from me!), and even better-looking defaults (although they’re bringing back the old behavior if you add a gradient on top of another fill).
Working with gradients in @figma just got a little easier!

Miggi celebrates his 3rd anniversary at Figma (congratulations!) by demonstrating how to make a color wheel. (A coincidence, but just earlier this week I was making the same color wheel with a very similar technique!)

Vijay Verma made a new plugin for adding a color gradient map effect to your graphics. As expected, it comes with cool predefined gradients created by him to get you started.
Rad product and home page! “ShaderGradient is a design tool to create beautiful moving gradients. Make stunning visuals by adding natural movements and effects to the gradient. It’s available on your favorite tools, like Framer, Figma, and React.”
New plugin for working with perceptual color and OKLCH color space! This initial release allows inspecting and manipulating color stops in gradients using the OKLCH color space — pretty useful if you have an existing gradient that needs a little tweaking. Bonus point for providing precise control over color stop positions!
A few good tips on adjusting the color hue, opacity, and evenly distributing color handles.

The lack of precision in the gradient tool is an old annoyance, but as this tweet grew in popularity I’ve been quietly hoping that maybe the fix would make it to the Little Big Updates. Regardless, the replies provide a ton of smart workaround — distributing stops through double-clicking, nudging stops, using the Precise Gradients plugin, and even looking in the Inspect tab!
Hey @figma, can you show me the position values on here please? I don’t like having to eyeball 15%… pic.twitter.com/cWVLzqNAda
