You're wrong. ;)
Try setting width and height of the Hbox additionally to setting the backgroundColor, e.g to 100%. By default, width and height of HBox depend on the space its children take up.

I have tried setting backgroundColor, backgroundAlpha, etc, but nothing changes in my applications's appearance. The closest I got was setting the opaqueBackground property but that did not apply colour to the full height of the HBox, only the height occupied by its children. Presumably there must be some kind of container that allows me to designate a certain portion of the interface to be a specific colour regardless of it's size or children? Iain
