Hi, I'm in the process of evaluating Java FX 8 for our currently Swing-based product (also Java 8) on OSX.
My first attempt to style a stage's background resulted in an ugly flashing effect which I would classify as a show-stopper for delivering a commercial product. This looks like it is caused by the stage being drawn at least once before the style has been applied, and I am wondering what the mistake is since my code is more or less a straight-forward hello world: package jfxtest; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Button; import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class JXTest extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception { final StackPane pane = new StackPane(); final Button closeButton = new Button("Close"); closeButton.setOnAction(event -> primaryStage.close()); pane.getChildren().add(closeButton); final Scene scene = new Scene(pane, 800, 600); scene.getStylesheets().add("dark.css"); scene.getStylesheets(); primaryStage.setScene(scene); primaryStage.setTitle(getClass().getSimpleName()); primaryStage.show(); } public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); } } with dark.css being: .root { -fx-background: rgb(54, 54, 54); } Is this a Mac-specific problem? Is there a workaround? Which of the two mailing lists is the more appropriate one to post these things (JFX problems which look like they might be platform-specific) to? Thanks, Robert
