Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Fix Table Alignment in Figma

What table structures does FixTable support?

FixTable works with auto-layout tables where rows are horizontal frames and columns are defined by cell positions. It supports headers, body rows, and footer rows.

Will this break my responsive table behavior?

FixTable applies fixed widths to normalize alignment. If you need fill-container behavior for the wrapper, it preserves that while fixing internal column widths.

Can I customize the zebra stripe colors?

Yes. You can select custom fill colors for alternating rows to match your design system tokens.

How does it detect table structure?

FixTable analyzes auto-layout direction and nesting to identify rows, columns, and cells. It works best with conventional table structures using horizontal rows.
