Those are layout containers, not UI controls. Given their purpose -- to
be containers for laying out children -- it would seem odd for them to
have skins. The ability to CSS-style a Pane should be sufficient to do
what you want.

I am studying JavaFX API and can't understand why GridPane, HBox, BorderPane,
VBox, StackPane don't have Skins. According to Skin API doc:
Base class for defining the visual representation of user interface controls by
defining a scene graph of nodes to represent the skin. A user interface control
is abstracted behind the Skinnable interface.
Why do JavaFX developers use skins only for controls, but not for the above
panes? I am asking, because these panes also have visual representation. For
example, we can set color, they have children which can be placed somehow
differently etc. Could anyone explain?
