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 wan to make 2 different styles of button in one css. So when creating the second button i added class to it using:
close.getStyleClass().add("close-button");
so now i can reference this button in css by:
.button.close-button
But now i dont know how to reference pseudoclasses of button when using the .close-button class.
I tried accessing it by
.button.close-button:selected
or
.button:selected.close-button
Nor of these seems to work. Is there any way how to do it? Or do i have to create my own pseudoclasses for the .close-button class and add and remove them in listeners of the btton in code?
I am creating the button using:
Button close = new Button("X");
close.getStyleClass().add("close-button");
close.setOnAction((event) -> {
....
});
Than i am adding it to the layout:
HBox hbox = new HBox(rbSelect, label, pane, close);
my css looks like:
.button {
...
}
.button.close-button {
-fx-background-color: #E81123;
}
.button:selected.close-button {
-fx-background-color: greenyellow;
}
The button looks like this:
When i click on it:
Seems like nothing happens, when i would expect the button to change color to greenyellow
I'm not 100% sure this is necessary, but by convention the pseudo class selector is added after the class selectors:
.button.close-button:selected {
-fx-background-color: greenyellow;
}
However there is no selected pseudo class for Button. It's available for CheckBox and ToggleButton, but not for regular Buttons. Pseudoclasses that are available are :pressed and :hover, see css reference.
You could of course add the pseudoclass yourself, assuming you're using JavaFX 8:
PseudoClass selected = PseudoClass.getPseudoClass("selected");
close.setOnAction((event) -> {
....
close.pseudoClassStateChanged(selected, true);
});
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 CSS file that styles my application MusicPlayer. I'm trying to style my array of javafx.scene.text.Text named sliderText. However nothing works. even when i use .text it styles the text of everything else EXCEPT my array of sliderText. any ideas how to get this working?
thanks
heres my declaration of slider text =
public static javafx.scene.text.Text[] sliderText = new Text[10];
also general question, how do i use .setID() in both javafx and CSS?
I've tried doing the following:
.text {
-fx-font-size: 32px;
-fx-font-family: "Arial Black";
-fx-fill: #818181;
-fx-effect: innershadow( three-pass-box , rgba(0,0,0,0.7) , 6, 0.0 , 0 , 2 );
}
And that changes literally everything except what i want it to
By default, Text objects have no style class attached to them. (Only Controls have default style classes set.) So your rule (which applies to the style class "text"), won't apply to your text objects.
The basic CSS tutorial for JavaFX covers all this, but briefly you need to do something like
for (Text text : sliderText) {
text.getStyleClass().add("text");
}
either in the constructor or in the start() method or an initialization method (you haven't shown enough context for your code for me to know how your application is set up).
For your question:
how do i use .setID() in both javafx and CSS?
you can do
someNode.setId("specialNode");
and then in CSS
#specialNode {
/* style rules for specialNode here.... */
}
Ids should be unique to a single node within any scene graph.
I have over 100 Buttons in my JAVAfx application and I want to give a DEFAULT styling[given below] to all buttons in the programme. Please help ! :)
-fx-background-color:#3c7fb1;
-fx-text-fill: black;
-fx-font-size: 14px;
-fx-padding: 3 30 3 30;
Create a new CSS file.
Attach the CSS file to your Scene.
Put your button styles to .button {}.
It's easy to set default Style for all JavaFX Button in an application.
Just give a id to the style sheet which you want to set as default for all button.And then set this id for all button of your application.
Button button =new Button("Button");
Button button1 =new Button("Button");
button.setId("allbtn");
button1.setId("allbtn");
String style= getClass().getResource("New.css").toExternalForm();
scene.getStylesheets().add(style);
Create buttons
apply id to them (for css as we apply in the html) using setId().
Define CSS for this ID
Finally add CSS file to the Scene Thats it.
And CSS file :
#allbtn{
-fx-color:black;
-fx-padding:4px;
-fx-background-color:#34c669;
-fx-background-radius: 10px;
}

To apply a default style in an fxml file add a '.button' class to your css file and include it in the Anchor pane
Add this to your css file e.g. app.css
.button {
-fx-color:black;
-fx-padding:4px;
-fx-background-color:blue;
-fx-background-radius: 10px;
}
Update your AnchorPane tag to include the stylesheet:
<AnchorPane prefHeight="700.0" prefWidth="500.0" stylesheets="#../app.css" >
This will change all buttons to use your style for within the fxml file
I use the following CSS to change the font of some components which are placed on a custom JavaFX AnchorPane, defined as fx:root. But the font-size remains default.
* {
-fx-font-family : Arial;
}
.label, .textField, .textfield, .checkBox, .text{
-fx-font-size: 18;
}
I got that I should change them using the ids of all inner components but it's not a good idea, because it results in redundant code.
Then I got that applying it on the main style class, it will work. But the sad story is that * can't be overriden. (I have defined * selector in a global css class for my whole application.
Try .root instead of *.
For the font size, some of your class names are wrong. Try
.label, .text-field, .check-box, .text {
-fx-font-size: 18pt ;
}
Style classes are documents in the CSS Reference Guide
Note that Text nodes have empty style class, so you need to explicitly set the style class for your text nodes.
