CHILI GraFx: Brand Kit Themes

✨ New & Improved

Brand Kit Themes

A Brand Kit can now carry variations of your visual identity through themes. Every Brand Kit has a default theme with the complete set of elements; additional themes inherit everything and override only what differs — a sub-brand accent color, or a print palette in CMYK.

  • Manage themes in GraFx Brand Kits: create, rename, and delete themes from the new theme bar on the Brand Kit detail page — see Manage themes.
  • Switch themes in GraFx Studio (Studio + Engine 1.45): the Brand Kit panel's new theme selector updates every Brand Kit element used in the template, and sync is theme-aware — see Switch themes.
  • Switch themes programmatically: new Actions helper functions getActiveThemeName() and switchTheme(name), or the equivalent Studio SDK methods — see Switch themes with Actions or the SDK.

GraFx Studio improvements (Studio + Engine 1.45)

  • Heavy media assets no longer fail prematurely — Studio now waits as long as GraFx Media may need (up to 10 minutes) to process an asset before giving up.
  • Font previews got an additional fallback, so previews render in more cases.
  • Undo and redo in text editing behave more predictably.
  • Subject type fallback on asset details — when a custom subject type has no settings of its own, the settings from the default subject type are now used.
  • Long layout and variable names are now easier to read in their panels.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed canvas rendering in the space between the left panels.
  • Fixed text selection in input fields using various mouse clicks.
  • Fixed validation in particular input fields.
  • Fixed text going into overflow with copyfitting and auto-grow enabled on multicolumn frames.
  • Improved PDF generation performance.
