I am developing a Figma plugin that replaces the colors of the selection, with new ones. I want to display on the screen how the change will look before generating it on the Figma canvas.
What I did was to store the node into a variable and then try to change it according to it. What happened was, it was changing the actual component in Figma, not on the copy of the selection have. I want something which can create an exact replica of the selection, and then i want to use it for viewing it on my plugin, because the changes that i do for it is actually affecting the original node.
Does your screenshot above show a clone or the original frame? Do you see this clone in the layers panel? Does the clone overlap the original frame on the canvas (located at the same coordinates)?
And I don’t see the code for the function to change the clone properties. Are you sure you are changing the properties of the clone and not the original node?
As soon as the user starts the plugin, I will save the current selection and using getDarkModeNode(), i will get the saved one. And the clones are overlapping upon each other.
