yes, I think I found that too. And also found code samples "how to
check if transparency is supported..." but no platform list.

Yes, it got a big ugly rectangle behind the player. I also tried this
test:

like I wrote in the discussion over in the WidgetFX Users group:
http://groups.google.de/group/widgetfx-users/browse_frm/thread/2b765358b68b4e24
I think the thing is simple: JavaFX and/or Java 6u10 is only fully
supported on windows. It seems like Sun's JavaFX guys chose Windows as
the first Platform to implement for and I guess, that's not because it
is the easiest to implement transparency features on. This is sad,
because I always saw Sun as a big Linux supporter. (Same goes for
Google's Chrome, but that's another story...)
That said, I'll take another look at JavaFX and WidgetFX in some weeks
or month or when I read some news about Linux and Mac OS support. Till
then, they both not at the same eye level with competitors.
thanks,
Tim
