Answer 1

For modena.css (the default JavaFX look and feel definition in Java 8), a slight shaded background was introduced for all controls (and also to panes if a control is loaded).

You can remove this by specifying that the default background is transparent. This can be done by adding the following line to your application's CSS file:

.root { -fx-background-color: transparent; }

This is in addition to other settings you already have in your code to initialize the style of the stage and background fill of the scene.

stage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
scene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);

Note: in the questions's sample code, an additional stage (initStage) is created instead of using the passed in stage for the start method. The passed in stage can be initialized, utilized and shown directly by your code rather than creating an additional initStage.

Answer 2

This works for me.

Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("login.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
scene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
stage.show();

U just need mainly 2 things:

scene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);
stage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);

Answer 3

stage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);

this is for hide the top bar ( minimize, Restore Down and close)

scene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);

this is for the frame color ( you can replace TRANSPARENT with any color GREEN YELLOW RED BLUE ...) but for me I want glass view if you can understand me, and with different color so the solution is

primaryStage.setOpacity(0.2);

The number 0.2 is between 0 and 1. 0 is hidden and 1 is normal form but between the numbers transparent so choose your number and run your program and see if this is what you want there is this code for full screen.

primaryStage.setFullScreen(true);

and in the css file do this

.root { -fx-background-color:rgba(0,0,0,1); }

and you can change the color with changed the number in rgba(0,0,0,1)
