Custom title bar in Javafx 2.0?

Question

Is there any tutorial on how to create custom title bar in javafx 2.0? I am creating a desktop GUI app and want to have a black gradient title bar with custom buttons for mi

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible to modify the title bar directly. One of the solution could be to remove the platform decorations and add your custom "title bar" to the top of your windows. Here for an example : JavaFX primaryStage remove windows borders?

Answer 2

To hide platform window:

stage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);

Now you can create your own titlebar/window-buttons & style them.

Finally, check "Ensemble" from Oracle JavaFX samples, they've done the exact thing: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/samples/index.html
