JavaFX CSS :

We can use cascading style sheets (CSS) to create a custom look for JavaFX
GUI application.

We can apply CSS to scene,nodes and UI controls etc.

Using CSS in JavaFX applications is similar to using CSS in HTML.

So that we can change look and feel of our JavaFX GUI application using CSS.

JavaFX CSS Theme:

JavaFX application support themes.

So we can change,create or apply predefined CSS theme to our applications.

So using CSS themes we can change the entire look of our application.

The following code shows how to switch between the Caspian and Modena
look and feel style sheets.
//Default CSS theme is modena
// Switch

to

CASPIAN

theme

[Link](STYLESHEET_CASPIAN);
setUserAgentStylesheet() method is used to apply CSS.

// to set default css theme to null


[Link](null);

JavaFX CSS :
Default JavaFX CSS :

[Link] is the default css for JavaFX applications.

We can open and extract it using the following command.

jar xf [Link] com/sun/javafx/scene/control/skin/caspian/[Link]

How to apply CSS in JavaFX ?

Using Class Selector :


We can apply class to nodes or UI [Link]
Button button = new Button("my button");
[Link]().add("btn");
Here getStyleClass() method is used to add css class to the button.

And defining style sheet :


.btn{
-fx-text-fill: white;
-fx-padding: 10;
-fx-background-color: #DFD901;
-fx-border-radius: 5;

Using ID Selector :
Apply or Assign Id as
Button button = new Button("my button");
[Link]("btn1");
Here setId() method is used to set id of node or UI control.

And defining style sheet :


#btn1{
-fx-text-fill: white;
-fx-padding: 10;
-fx-background-color: #DFD901;
-fx-border-radius: 5;

Using Inline Style :


We can apply directly css to any node as
Button button = new Button("my button");
[Link]("-fx-background-color: #DFD901; -fx-text-fill: white;
");
Here setStyle() method is used to set the inline style sheet.
Adding css :

Scene scene = new Scene(new Group(), 300, 200);


[Link]().add("somepath/[Link]");

JavaFX CSS Example :


package javafxtuts;
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];

/**
*
* @author [Link]
*/
public class Javafxtuts extends Application {

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
HBox root = new HBox();
//Set space or padding using setPadding() method

[Link](new Insets(20));

//assiging a class to the button


Button button=new Button("my button");
//Adding a class to the button
[Link]().add("btn");

//assiging a class to the button1


Button button1 =new Button("Button1");
//set id to the button.
[Link]("btn1");

[Link]().addAll(button,button1);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 150);
//To add a external css file we do as
String

style= getClass().getResource("[Link]").toExternalForm(

);
//now add the external css file to the scene
[Link]().add(style);

[Link]("[Link]");
[Link](scene);
[Link]();
}

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/

public static void main(String[] args) {


launch(args);
}

JavaFX css:
.btn{
-fx-color:black;
-fx-fill:blue;
-fx-padding:4px;
-fx-background-color:#34c669;
-fx-font-size: 30px;
-fx-background-radius: 20px;

}
#btn1{
-fx-color:black;
-fx-fill:blue;
-fx-padding:4px;
-fx-background-color:#2fc6b3;
-fx-font-size: 30px;
-fx-hgap:2px;
}

JavaFX Button CSS :

You can apply CSS to the JavaFX button.

First of all, You should read JavaFX CSS and JavaFX Buttons Tutorials.

Now make a simple Button


Button button =new Button("My Button");

Now apply ID to the button as


[Link]("btn");

now defining the style sheet


#btn{
-fx-color:black;
-fx-fill:blue;
-fx-padding:4px;
-fx-background-color:#34c669;
-fx-font-size: 30px;
-fx-background-radius: 20px;
}

And fanally add css file to the scene as


String

style= getClass().getResource("[Link]").toExternalForm();

[Link]().add(style);
