To get started using Aero you'll need access to our Figma team and activate our Aero libraries. Simply follow the instructions below.
1 — Access to Figma
Welcome on board! It's time to accept your Figma invite.
2 — Aero Libraries
Once you have access to our Figma space, you can activate the Aero Libraries. Our library system consists of Foundation and Platform libraries. All Foundation libraries are there to serve foundational elements like colours, icons, logo's and other assets. We apply those to all platform libraries — all styles are connected to the same foundation with the exception of typography styles (which are platform specific).
To activate the libraries, simply go to the Libraries panel and look for it. The Library panel can be found via the Library icon in the Assets tab from the left sidebar. Or by clicking the Figma icon from your file, located in the top left corner, and selecting Libraries.
3 — Plugins
Aero plugins
Did you know that we have our own plugins available? Yes, we do. These plugin both serve a specific purpose to make your lifer easier and to work faster when creating designs for both brand.
- Aero Switcher: allows you to switch your design from one brand to the other with one click. It's magic!! For example: you created designs only for Air France or only for KLM. Just select the frames in your Figma file and use the plugin to transform your frames to the other brand. You can also select the option to apply it to the entire file.
- Aero Dark Mode: allows to you (you guessed it) switch your designs to dark mode. The plugin works in a similar way as the Aero Switcher. Note: at a later stage, this features will be made available by defailt without using the plugin.
Note that your designs should make proper use of our Figma libraries in order to benefit from this. What are you waiting for?
External plugins
You can also benefit from several external plugins. We working on an overview of all recommended plugins and will make those available soon.
