Answer 1

You could create an HBox and center it with a transparent background color (-fx-background-color: transparent;) and in your initialize function, hide it. On a button press, you can show it and either give it a timer and hide it at the end of the timer, or put a small "x" in the top right or bottom, or wherever, with a setOnAction(event -> { myText.hide() }) kind of thing. Just a thought that maybe this got too complicated when all you wanted to do was display some text.
