Inspect mode - Better view of color overiddes

So recently my developper has be asking me to switch to Figma because he says he loses so much time integrating with Sketch.. I’m gonna try to make a few suggestions in the forum to see what can be helped.

In the Inspect mode, you have to dig to find the color overrides inside symbols, going to the actual polygon itself.

This can be annoying with complex symbols that have elements that might be hard to select. Using the layer selection dropdown is possible, but there’s also no way of keeping it visible.

In general, it doesn’t reflect how I use the app to change the colors of my symbols. With the ‘new’ override feature, making symbol variants for different colors isn’t necessary anymore. I usually select the symbol, and change the color. Voilà.

Having a feature in the inspect panel like Figma’s ‘selection colors’ would be very useful in my opinion.

This is high on my personal wish list, I don’t mind saying. It’s been discussed internally as something we would love to do, so we’re glad to hear more requests!

Lots of people (including me) have this near the top of their wish lists, I think it is coming and I think it’s relatively soon™️ @paulozoom has indicated that it might be at least.
