Changelog

We’ve just shipped a major usability improvement to Pixflow that gives you full control over how layouts and components are copied, based on the framework you’re using.

What’s new

A new Framework dropdown has been added to all layout and component pages, including:

• Layout archives

• Component archives

• Individual layout pages

• Individual component pages

You’ll now see a “Framework” selector directly on the page, allowing you to choose how Pixflow handles variables and structure when copying.

Your selection is saved automatically and used consistently across the site.

Available framework options

Pixflow

• Uses Pixflow’s native variable system

• No variable rewriting is applied

• This is the default authoring mode

• You’ll still need to download and import the required Pixflow files from your dashboard (theme styles, variables, etc.)

Default Advanced Themer

• Automatically rewrites Pixflow variables to Advanced Themer’s default variable names

• Uses ATF’s native scales, tokens, and conventions

• No custom variables are introduced

• Fully respects your existing Advanced Themer setup

Default Core Framework

• Rewrites Pixflow variables to Core Framework’s default variables

• Outputs Core-native spacing, grid, radius, and utility tokens

• Designed to drop cleanly into an existing Core Framework project

Raw CSS

• Outputs fully static CSS values

• No variables, no clamp values, no rem units

• Ideal if you’re not using a framework or want maximum portability

How it works

• Select your framework from the Framework dropdown

• Copy a layout or component as normal

• Pixflow automatically adapts the output to match your chosen framework

Your preference is remembered, so you don’t need to reselect it on every page.

Why this matters

This update removes friction when working across different setups:

• No manual variable cleanup

• No framework lock-in

• No duplicated versions of the same layout

• One Pixflow library, adapted to your workflow

Whether you’re using Pixflow directly, Advanced Themer, Core Framework, or no framework at all, the copy experience now matches your environment.

Coming soon: ACSS support

Support for ACSS is already planned and will be added as a selectable framework option in a future update, following the same native-first mapping approach used for Advanced Themer and Core Framework.
