Fusion UI

Fusion UI restyles the Bricks builder interface. It adds a dark theme and a light one, both derived from one color you choose, plus a redesigned structure panel, value suggestions inside the fields and a command palette. It is off by default, set per user, and reversible from one switch.

Pro LTDBetaUpdated for Studio 2.1

Pro LTD required

Fusion UI ships with Bricksfusion Studio, which is part of the Pro Lifetime Deal. It is included at no extra cost, and the price did not change with its release. View plans

Getting started

Turning it on

Fusion UI ships off by default. Nothing changes until you switch it on, and switching it on affects your own builder only: everyone else on the site keeps whatever they chose.

1

Open the Fusion UI panel

In Bricks Builder, click the Fusion UI button in the editor toolbar. The panel opens as a popover over the canvas.

2

Flip the master switch

The first row of the panel is Modern interface. On restyles the builder, off restores the original one.

3

Pick your theme

Choose Dark or Light, then a surface color. Panels, fields, menus and the structure tree are all derived from it.

4

Pick your accent

Use the Bricksfusion accent, one of the curated colors, or your own. The accent may shift slightly from what you picked; see Choosing an accent.

Your settings belong to you, not to the site

Two rules that follow from that, and they are not in conflict. On one site, two people get two different workspaces: your settings are stored against your profile and never applied to anyone else. Across sites, one person gets the same workspace everywhere: your settings travel with your Bricksfusion account, which is Cloud Sync. Nothing about your pages or your published site is involved either way.

What you need

Before you start

  • A Pro Lifetime license. Fusion UI is part of Bricksfusion Studio.
  • The Bricksfusion AI plugin installed and active on the site you are editing.
  • Bricks Builder. Fusion UI restyles the builder interface only: your theme, your pages and your published site are untouched.

The workspace

Themes and colors

There are two presets, and one color drives each of them. Everything else, panels, fields, menus and the structure tree, is derived from the surface color you choose.

ObsidianDark preset

Default surface #0B0E14. Any dark color works: the rest of the workspace is derived from whatever you set.

PorcelainLight preset

Default surface #F7F6F3. Same rule, applied to a light surface.

Choosing an accent

The accent colors your selection, focus rings and the active state of every control. Use the Bricksfusion accent, the curated row, one of the proposals derived from your surface, or a custom color.

The color you set is adjusted until it reaches at least 3:1 contrast against your surface. If the accent you picked renders lighter or darker than expected, that is why. Pick a color further from your surface to keep it closer to your choice.

Corner radius

One slider sets the corner radius for panels, fields, chips and buttons together.

The structure panel

The selected element is filled with your accent color. Everything nested inside it is tinted with the same color, and its ancestors are highlighted, so the branch you are working in and the path back to the root are both visible without expanding anything.

Element icons sit at reduced opacity until you hover their row. The selected row keeps the same margins as every other row, so the tree does not shift when the selection changes.

Smart Variables

Click a spacing or size field and Fusion lists the design tokens already defined on your site. Each one is rendered at its real value: spacing as a ruler, font sizes at their rendered size, radius at its actual curve.

Hovering an option previews it on the element and reverts on leave. A badge names the source, ACSS, Core Framework or AT Framework, detected from the plugins active on the site.

The list opens with the full scale. If the field already holds a variable, that token is highlighted in place rather than filtering the list, so the arrow keys step through the scale from where you are.

Smart Suggestions

Grid columns, transitions and transform origin offer preset options drawn as diagrams: two columns, a sidebar, a fluid grid. Hovering one applies it to the canvas as a preview.

Grid options are computed from the grid already on your canvas, so the values it offers fit the arithmetic of your layout. Recent values appear at the top of the list, and Radius and Gap also suggest values that already repeat on the page.

No AI call, no cost

Suggestions are computed locally, not generated. They make no model call, cost nothing against your API key and work without a connection. Limitation: they are matched on the English labels of the Bricks builder, so a builder running in another language will not show them.

The command palette

A search box for the whole builder. Press Cmd K (or Ctrl K on Windows) anywhere and jump to any control, any element on your page, or any Fusion action.

Type part of a control name, press enter, and the panel scrolls to it and flashes it briefly.

The panel, rethought

Same controls, same names, rearranged. Nothing is added to or removed from what Bricks exposes.

Sizing inside the field

Width and Height set their mode in the field itself: Fixed, Fill, Fit or Auto.

Min and Max collapsed

Folded by default. A row that holds a value stays expanded.

Spacing on one row

Margin and padding share a row, each field marked with the side it edits.

Essentials panel

A toggle that hides the less-used controls in each group.

Focus mode

Panels fade to low opacity until hovered.

If your operating system is set to reduce motion, the interface does not animate.

Across your sites

Cloud Sync

Your setup is saved to your Bricksfusion account, so every licensed site where you use that account email opens the way you left it. There is nothing to configure: set up Fusion UI once and it travels with you.

It syncs one person across their own sites. It does not sync people to each other: a colleague on the same site keeps their own workspace, because settings are stored per account rather than per site.

It syncs when you open the builder and when you save. The builder never waits for the cloud, so a slow connection costs you nothing.

What travels, and what does not

Only your workspace colors and toggles travel. Nothing from your sites, your pages or your content is involved. One account keeps one workspace.

Frameworks and other plugins

Fusion UI reads the values from ACSS, Core Framework and AT Framework, detected from the plugins active on your site, and tells you which one its suggestions come from.

Advanced Themer restyles parts of the builder too. For that combination we say designed to coexist rather than tested with: Fusion UI keeps to its own layer, and the master switch is always there if something looks off.

Turning it off

Turn Modern interface off in the panel. The original builder returns immediately. Fusion UI only adds styling, so there is nothing to undo, migrate or clean up, and your saved preferences are kept for when you turn it back on.

Reference

Troubleshooting

I do not see the Fusion UI button in the toolbar

The button appears once the Bricksfusion AI plugin is active on that site and your license is verified. Fusion UI is part of Studio, so it needs a Pro Lifetime license. If the Studio icon is missing too, start with the installation guide.

A colleague sees a different interface than I do

That is expected, and it is the same rule that makes Cloud Sync work. Settings are stored against your Bricksfusion account, not against the site: they follow you from one licensed site to the next, and they never travel sideways to another person on the same site. Your colleague turns Fusion UI on and shapes their own workspace independently.

My setup did not follow me to another site

Cloud Sync matches on your Bricksfusion account email, so the other site has to be licensed and you have to be using the same account email there. It syncs when you open the builder and when you save, so open the builder once on the new site and give it a moment.

The suggestions do not appear in my fields

Suggestions follow the English labels of the Bricks builder today, so a builder running in another language will not match them yet. Smart Variables also need a framework whose values Fusion can read: ACSS, Core Framework or AT Framework.

Something looks wrong with another builder plugin active

Advanced Themer and similar plugins also restyle parts of the builder. Fusion UI keeps to its own layer, but if two layers disagree, the master switch puts the original builder back instantly while you work out which one to keep.

Why does it say Beta?

Because it is new and still growing. Everything described on this page works today, and trying it costs nothing: if anything looks off on your setup, turning it off puts the builder back exactly as it was.
