My CSS code isn't doing anything to the look of the elements for the JavaFX application I have. I've noticed that the lines of code in the CSS document say "Unknown property" and are highlighted in yellow. I tried to uninstall and then reinstall e(fx)clipse but that didn't help. Here's the code
CSS
.header-one {
-fx-stroke-width: 4;
-fx-fill: 99000;
}
Java
Label patronHeader = new Label("Current Patron");
patronHeader.getStyleClass().add("header-one");
What should I do to fix the problem?
In your case, you use css elements, that a Label does not support:
Visit this site for more information on what you can set on Labeled controls:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html#labeled
-fx-stroke-width and -fx-fill are not supported CSS properties for a Label.
You need
.header-one {
-fx-text-fill: #990000 ;
}
.header-one .text {
-fx-stroke-width: 4 ;
}

I have a TableView and trying to fix the cell height through CSS. The following works from java:
myTable.setFixedCellSize(80);
But if I comment that out and rely on the following CSS it doesn't work.
#viewtable .table-row-cell {
-fx-text-background-color: #7f7f7f;
-fx-fixed-cell-size: 80px;
}
The id is set to viewtable, I've already confirmed I'm targeting the proper element as the text color takes affect. And using -fx-cell-size also works fine.
I'm launching this through eclipse and tried running from different environments from javase-1.8 up to 16. The javafx sdk is 17.0.0.1
The fixedCellSize property is part of the TableView class, not the TableRow class. This:
#viewtable .table-row-cell {
-fx-text-background-color: #7f7f7f;
-fx-fixed-cell-size: 80px;
}
Is applying the styles to any TableRow (at least by default) which is a descendent of the node with an ID of #viewtable.
Try the following:
#viewtable {
-fx-fixed-cell-size: 80px;
}
#viewtable .table-row-cell {
-fx-text-background-color: #7f7f7f;
}
is there a possibility to refer to an anchor pane in css?
If the anchor pane happens to be the root, than it's ok:
.root{
-fx-background-image: url("xxx.yy");
}
It works. But if not, then how to do this? I tried .anchor-pane{}, it didn't work. Then I read, that anchor pane has everything that Pane has. So I tried .pane{} too... It didn't work.
How can I set the background to a none root anchor pane?
Thank you!
You can always assign a css class and add it to the AnchorPane explicitly
anchorPane.getStyleClass().add("pane");
In your css :
.pane{
-fx-background-image: url("xxx.yy");
}
You can perform the same by adding a css id
anchorPane.setId("pane");
In you css :
#pane{
-fx-background-image: url("xxx.yy");
}
This answer is the same as Itachi's I just wrote it at the same time..
You use CSS selectors in a CSS stylesheet to select nodes.
A pane is a node. A node can have a css id set on it node.setId("xyzzy-id"), or it can have style classes set on it node.getStyleClass().add("xyzzy-class").
For the provided examples you could select the pane in either of these ways:
Select by ID:
#xyzzy-id {
-fx-background-color: palegreen;
}
Select by Class:
.xyzzy-class {
-fx-background-color: papayawhip;
}
You can also set FXML attributes on the node for the id and style class (rather than doing this in code as explained above). SceneBuilder has fields for this, so if you are writing FXML using SceneBuilder, just fill in the appropriate fields and it will add the required attributes to your FXML file.
I'm looking for a way to style the default JavaFX Dialog (javafx.scene.control.Dialog).
I tried to get the DialogPane and add a stylesheet, but it covers only a small piece of the dialog. I would prefer to style only with an external css file and without to add styleClasses over the code. This would look messy (header, content, own content on the content and more..)
I googled already alot and only found examples for ControlsFX, but since jdk8_40 JavaFX has it's own Dialogs i use them now.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
Since José Pereda posted the solution i created my own dialog.css.
I'll post it here because it covers the whole dialog and maybe someone want's to copy&paste it. Note .dialog-pane is already a given styleClass name so you don't need to apply your own. Of course, Josés is more fine detailed.
.dialog-pane {
-fx-background-color: black;
}
.dialog-pane .label {
-fx-text-fill: white;
}
.dialog-pane:header .header-panel {
-fx-background-color: black;
}
.dialog-pane:header .header-panel .label {
-fx-font-style: italic;
-fx-font-size: 2em;
}
You can style your dialogs with your own css file, but for that you need to take into consideration that the dialog is in fact a new stage, with a new scene, and the root node is a DialogPane instance.
So once you create some dialog instance:
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.CONFIRMATION);
alert.setTitle("Confirmation Dialog");
alert.setHeaderText("This is a Custom Confirmation Dialog");
alert.setContentText("We override the style classes of the dialog");
...
}
you can access to its dialog pane and add your own style sheet and your own class selector:
DialogPane dialogPane = alert.getDialogPane();
dialogPane.getStylesheets().add(
getClass().getResource("myDialogs.css").toExternalForm());
dialogPane.getStyleClass().add("myDialog");
Now the trick is knowing all the rules a Dialog style sheet has implemented by default.
And that's a difficult task... since they are not in the modena.css file, as for all the regular controls. On the contrary, they are found in the modena.bss file, a binary file located in the jfxrt.jar under private packages.
After some digging I've managed to get those rules, so your custom myDialogs.css file will look something like this:
.myDialog{
-fx-background-color: #f9d900;
}
.myDialog > *.button-bar > *.container{
-fx-background-color: #a9e200;
}
.myDialog > *.label.content{
-fx-font-size: 14px;
-fx-font-weight: bold;
}
.myDialog:header *.header-panel{
-fx-background-color: #a59c31;
}
.myDialog:header *.header-panel *.label{
-fx-font-size: 18px;
-fx-font-style: italic;
-fx-fill: #292929;
}
And you will have your styled dialog:
Note that being a bss file under private packages, these selectors can change without notice in future releases.
EDIT
I've just found that the .dialog-pane selector is already part of modena.css in the last 8u40 early versions, so you can find all the selectors and rules applied to the dialog pane there.
I am working on combobox with javafx 2 and I would like to change the background color of the menu/list in the css. I tried with the following code and some others but nothing work. Do you have any ideas ? Do you think it is possible ?
.combo-box .list-view{
-fx-background-color:linear-gradient(#efefef, #b5b5b5, efefef);
}
.combo-box .cell{
-fx-background-color:linear-gradient(#efefef, #b5b5b5, #efefef);
}
Use
.combo-box-popup .cell{
-fx-background-color:linear-gradient(#efefef, #b5b5b5, #efefef);
}
ok it works, thanks !!!
Also I have change one thing. In a first place, I included the css from the fxml file. Now I include it in the main class :
String css = "application/application.css";
scene.getStylesheets().clear();
scene.getStylesheets().add(css);
I'm trying to customize a combo box in JavaFX through css. I can't customize the "arrow button" on the right (I want it to disappear, or to have a custom graphic, for example).
I have been checking the default caspian.css, but no matter what modifications I do to the .combo-box section, the arrow button is not affected.
Any idea of where this can be edited?
Using the following CSS in the style sheet will get rid of all of the ComboBox arrows
.combo-box .arrow, .combo-box .arrow-button{
-fx-background-color: transparent;
}
Use the CSS Analyser option in Scenebuilder to get the CSS of any node that you want to play with
After that just select any node and you'll see all the classes which you can modify using CSS.
Now that I know the class I can make my changes accordingly in my CSS file
.combo-box{
-fx-border-color:#E6E6E6;
-fx-border-style:solid;
-fx-border-width:1;
}
.combo-box .arrow{
-fx-background-color:#2478E9;
}
.combo-box .arrow-button{
-fx-background-color:white;
-fx-border-style:none;
}
.combo-box .arrow-button{
-fx-background-color:white;
}
.combo-box .list-cell{
-fx-background-color:white;
}
Which gives me an end result like this.
For more advanced analysis of CSS and other Events occurring when the application is running, you can try Scenic View.
I wanted it to disappear too. But nothing worked for me on javafx 8 until I tried the following:
css:.combo-box.REFERENCEDONLY .arrow-button {
-fx-padding: 0 0 0 -7;
}
basically it says: use negative padding on the arrow-button's left side to effectively shrink it.
javafx code:myCombobox.getStyleClass().add("REFERENCEDONLY");
