I have seen several posts that need indirectly support for `getComputedStyle`. I am at the same point but I haven’t found a direct feature request for it. So here it is.  
And, what is the information regarding this? Are there any plans to support it?

I hope you don’t mind: I have moved this into the Plugin API Feedback Feature Request section so that other developers can vote for this feature 🙂

Also: May I ask if you could provide any references, use-cases or other details on why you need this feature?

Use cases help the UXP team determine support for the API.

There are a few plugin authors including myself that have a few use cases and related feature request… although it’s not explicitly for getComputedStyle the issues mentioned would be solved by it.

Also tried to use Element UI (especially their color picker). Both did not work because of getComputedStyle. After some search here in the forums I saw that other people could use that, too.
