When using "Transforms" Figma detects style changes

[aesign]

I've been using the "opacity" transform and everything works. The problem is that Figma detects style changes to be published every time I open Theemo (even if I don't make any edit).

Hmm, I think this is a bit "by design" - but by Figma's design.

So, theemo has a "thread", that runs ~every second, that updates the styles while you make changes. For example, when you do have a color palette and reference those to your design tokens, then you can update the colors in the styles panel and a little later those references are updated automatically through this.

That is, these changes are made, it isn't checked if differences are detected (might be an addition to theemo here) and then these styles are applied (even if there are no differences). It is a tricky area, as this is a performant critical component, adding those diff checks might be good for one but disaster to another.

I will need to see what's available through the Figma API (they made changes) and what can be done as part of this plugin. That is, I can't promise you anything right now.

A little "workaround" might be to go to Tools and turn off Auto Update Style References.

Thanks for your input, I like that. Hope that answer clarifies a little, why that isn't trivial for now to do.

Fixed with #57 (using new styles API)
