That was my original thought too, but as I discovered yesterday, it doesn't quite work because of the order in which objects are constructed in BXML. It also may be a bit overdesigned. So I think we should skip it. > In fact the only thing I would ask for is to add a > suspend/resumePainting/Layout method to reduce processing overhead during > multiple style changes. This is already supported. Layout is always deferred until the end of the current event, and repaints are deferred and coalesced at the discretion of the AWT event loop. > Alright...I'm off to weekend vacation activities...except reading Romain's > book again on rich clients.
