I probably saw ten of videos about light/dark modes, as well other dozens topics as Variables, Tokens, etc. and I have to say your videos are the most clear, easy, super quick (but not so fast!) to understend and learn. I found in your channel a great balance of splendid explanations and methods to organize Figma use. I devoutly recommend your videos. Cheers from Bariloche, Argentina.
Very concise - I also watched a few others before coming to this video about dark and light mode variables, and this one breaks it down really nicely. Especially the bit at the end explaining auto-mode. Thank you!!!!
Hi again! Thanks for another great video on variables. I'm still learning them myself but getting stronger by the day! One downside I've noticed about variables is they don't have animated transitions like having pointing interactions has. I can see why they don't for a vast majority of variable usages but I wish there was a way to incorporate it in things like toggling something off and on or switching variant states with variables. As of now, is there a way to have have light and dark mode as variables fade/dissolve into one another when switching back and forth? Maybe this will be something they'll come out with in the future if it's not possible already.
You’re welcome 🤗 I know exactly what you mean! It’s really jumpy and instant right now there is no way to control the animation 😩 if you want a smoother transition you can still utilise variable to create a faster and easier design system for yourself but then use normal prototyping to connect different screens with animation 🤷🏽♀️I hope that helps! 🙏🏼☀️
Sure! I go through basic colour styles here (*Colour System & Styles* - ruclips.net/video/7ZGGGxWHi7g/видео.html) and I also go through colour variables here (*Colour System* - ruclips.net/video/qPL3ubdlkRM/видео.html) ☀️🙏🏻💛
It does make sense, but I'm on an older tutorial of yours where we use modes; Primary, Error, Warning and Success, so I'm. Struggling to reconcile the 2 methods
Good point! I would say the older method where you use modes for sematic colours only works if you don't need dark mode in your system but if you need them then I would use groups for semantics and modes for dark mode. Like I always say there is never a "one way fits all" it's about what you need in your project ☀️🙏🏻💛
@@TDSunshine Hey just finished youe design sytem playlist and it was really helpful, but watching this video Im kinda bit confused how I can incorporate semantic colours and dark mode variables together in one collection. are you able to make a video on that i'd really appreciate it ?love your content by the way
Amazing content as always 🫶 initially I made the mistake of creating a variable for each component element so I can customize the light dark mode in detail but I ended up with a lot of duplicate variables and it became extremely overwhelming Since then, I have learned from my mistake & try as much as possible to create variables for themes mainly, that way I only have the variables I need for fill, border, content, etc...
Thanks! Iv'e found variables need a bit of trail and error as well! Its great you are learning and adapting your systems to fit your design purposes! ☀️🤗

Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 💛🙏🏻☀️
Tair your videos are simply amazing, thanks for all your efforts! 💯🙌🏽
Awww thanks! I appreciate it!☀️🙏🏼
This was really helpful and simple example with explanation. Thanks
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! ☀️🙏🏻

i like the way you explain it, not too layman not too pro! keep it up.
thanks! 🙏🏻☀️💛
Having fun watching all your tutorials 😊. Thanks for sharing. From Philippines with 😍
You're welcome! ☀️🙏🏻💛
Hi, could you please make a video on the tools you use for video editing?
Great idea! adding to my list ☀️🙏🏻
Great Video.
Thanks!☀️
Still awesome as always
Thanks! ☀️
At 4:40 you say you have a whole video on that can I ask which one??
Sure! I go through basic colour styles here (*Colour System & Styles* - ruclips.net/video/7ZGGGxWHi7g/видео.html) and I also go through colour variables here (*Colour System* - ruclips.net/video/qPL3ubdlkRM/видео.html)

You really need to make some courses and sell it. Your videos have been more useful and to the point compared with most other videos about Figma.
Maybe one day! ☀️🙏🏻💛
Is there a way to do this in free version?
you can create them as different variants and then just change the variant. Its not as quick but it works! ☀️🙏🏻💛
@@TDSunshine Thank you for respond. I believe so it is long way.
