In modern web design, maintaining visual consistency across a website is essential. That’s why designers create Global Styles in design tools like Figma before building in WordPress or Elementor. These global styles typically include: - Color Variables, Styles: Centralized color palettes used across designs - Text Styles: Predefined typography rules for headings, body text, buttons, etc. Creating global styles in Figma helps teams keep every page and component visually aligned. ### The Problem: Transferring Global Styles to Elementor While setting up global styles in Figma is simple, manually recreating them in Elementor is where many users face difficulty: - You have to copy each color code manually into Elementor - Typography settings like font, size, weight, and spacing must be entered one by one - Responsive layout settings for different devices require separate configuration This process is time-consuming, error-prone, and frustrating - especially for larger or more complex websites. ### The Solution: UiChemy’s Global Style Sync **UiChemy** helps you connect your Figma design system directly to **Elementor**, no more manual copying of global styles. With just a few clicks, you can sync your global settings and get consistent results in your Elementor site. UiChemy lets you sync: ### 1. Sync Global Container Box Width This feature allows you to sync the **box width** value from your Figma design to Elementor containers. Here’s how it works: - Once your site is connected in the **Global Style** screen of UiChemy, the plugin will show the current container box width used in Elementor. - You can then enter the box width from your Figma design (based on how your sections are designed) and hit the **Sync** button. - UiChemy will apply that value to your Elementor box width settings. - When exporting your design to Elementor, UiChemy will automatically apply that value to all eligible sections, so the content width matches exactly. Additionally, you can set **custom breakpoints** like: - Widescreen - Laptop - Tab Extra - Tablet - Mobile Extra - Mobile You can enter the box width value in either **pixels** or **percentages**, depending on what fits your design needs. #### How Container Box Width Works? (Figma → Elementor) The **Container Box Width** in Elementor is determined solely by the **horizontal padding (left and right)** applied to your **Box Container** in Figma. #### Example: If your Figma layout has: - **Total Container Width**: 1440px - **Left Padding**: 150px - **Right Padding**: 150px Then the **Box Width** is calculated as: `Box Width = 1440px (Total Width) - 150px (Left Padding) - 150px (Right Padding)= 1140px` This 1140px is what you should input as your **Box Width** in UiChemy. #### How UiChemy Applies This: - Once you've calculated the correct **Box Width** based on container padding, input it into **UiChemy > Global Styles > Container Box Width**. - UiChemy will: Apply this width to Elementor’s **Container Width** setting (Site Settings > Layout > Container Box Width). - Remove the default left/right padding in Elementor, since it's already accounted for in your Box Width. You can also define different Box Widths for each breakpoint (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Mobile, etc.) based on the padding in your Figma layout for each screen size. ### 2. Sync Global Colors & Typography When your live site is connected, UiChemy lists out all the **Global Fonts** and **Global Colors** from your Elementor site. You can: - **Update, modify, or add** new global colors and typography using the **+ Add New** button. - See all the **color variables and styles** from Figma, including even the **random colors** used throughout your file, shown in the **Document tab**. - View **how often** each color and typography style is used in your entire Figma file. When it comes to typography: - You’ll see key details like **Font Size, Font Family, Line Height, Letter Spacing, Font Weight, and Typography Name**, so you know exactly which one you’ve used in your design. - UiChemy supports both **Style-based** and **Document-based** typography. There are also several helpful features: - A **Rescan** button: If you’ve made changes or added new styles/colors in Figma, click this to update the list. - A **Hide Duplicate** button: This hides any repeated or unused colors and typography, so your list stays clean. - A **Pick All** button: Select all styles and colors in one click instead of picking them one by one. You can also: - **Rename** your colors and typography after selecting them. These names will appear in Elementor once synced. - **Edit or delete** colors and typography from the plugin anytime. After syncing, you can view the updates directly in Elementor: - **Global Colors / Typography**: Go to Site Settings > Global Colors / Global Typography - **Container Box Width**: Go to Site Settings > Layout > Box Width #### Two-Way Sync If you make changes in** Elementor**, like updating container box width, adding new global colors, or modifying typography, UiChemy can read those updates too. Just open the **Global Style** screen in the plugin and hit the **Rescan** button to refresh the list with the latest data from your Elementor site. #### Global Colors This video demonstrates how to sync global colors from your Figma design to your Elementor site.

Ensure that you've entered the correct box width and that your live site is connected. If issues persist, try using the Rescan button to refresh the styles. This can help capture any recent changes made in Figma. **Q: Can I use UiChemy to export designs with global styles to platforms other than Elementor?** A: UiChemy specifically supports exporting Figma designs to Elementor, Gutenberg, and Bricks Builder. It does not work with other page builders like Divi or WPBakery. If you're using Elementor, you can benefit from features like syncing global colors and typography directly from your Figma design. **Q: What are the best practices for setting global styles in Figma before exporting to Elementor?** A: When setting global styles in Figma, ensure you create a centralized color palette and predefined typography rules. This helps maintain visual consistency across your website. Use clear naming conventions for colors and text styles, as these will appear in Elementor after syncing. This organization simplifies the process and reduces errors during the export. **Q: How does UiChemy handle responsive design when syncing global container box width?** A: UiChemy allows you to define different box widths for various breakpoints, such as Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, and Mobile. By entering the box width based on your Figma layout's padding, you ensure that the content width matches across devices. This is crucial for maintaining a responsive design without manual adjustments in Elementor. **Q: What happens if I change global colors or typography in Elementor after syncing with UiChemy?** A: If you modify global colors or typography in Elementor after syncing, UiChemy can read those updates. Simply open the Global Style screen in the plugin and click the Rescan button to refresh the list with the latest data from your Elementor site. This two-way sync feature ensures that your design remains consistent regardless of where changes are made.
