In real life, we already had an existing UI for that… but we also had a problem. In Figma, an object can have multiple fills. And a style can have multiple fills. But an object cannot have multiple styles.

If you choose a colour to promote to a style, that colour could also be shared with other colours in some layers. What should we do when that happens?

We also made a hard decision not to ship this part – and a few other things – in time for Config where SC v1 premiered, giving us a bit of time to get them right.

1. I never figured out how to solve the “go back to master selection” problem. On top of that, the icon is not great – I don’t like anything reminding people of firearms – but we couldn’t think of anything else.pic.twitter.com/foyFSJem1p

Replying to @mwichary
Agree. The religious or violent similarity is hard to avoid in that case, but maybe there are still a few options consideration worth.pic.twitter.com/R4AdKOuswM
