I came up with an interesting approach to create "Layout-centric" styleable properties in #JavaFX. Instead of creating a single-use named class, a small amount of setup makes it easy to create StyleableProperties on the fly for your layouts: www.pragmaticcoding.ca/javafx/eleme...

I've just published a new article about creating custom styleable Properties in #JavaFX. If you've ever wanted to style some aspect of your JavaFX layout via CSS but there wasn't a standard stylesheet attribute for it, this article will get you started: www.pragmaticcoding.ca/javafx/eleme...

I've just published what I believe to be the most comprehensive guide to styling the #JavaFX TableView available. www.pragmaticcoding.ca/javafx/eleme.... This guide includes some tutorials plus a complete (I think) catalogue of TableView CSS selectors.

Just released a new control inside #GemsFX 2.69.0 that will allow you to toggle between a wrapped node of your application (e.g. a list view) and a progress indicator (when loading / refreshing data). Quite handy. I use it all the time. #JavaFX #Java #UI #UX github.com/dlsc-softwar...

Our dog clearly passed this course with flying colours.

And right behind those two pine trees is the place where Julius Caesar was killed.

All those fountains were closed up behind fences when we were there a few weeks back. Sigh.

One of my favourite museums in Rome is the Palazzo Massimo. There is a section with frescoes from a communal tomb, called a "columbarium". These tombs were just for common people, yet the artwork is astounding and doesn't look like what you'd expect for ancient Rome.

I'm writing a new article about styling TableView in #JavaFX. I'm trying to aim for something that can be both a tutorial and a reference and I am amazed at the depth of styling available. I'm also appalled that NONE of this stuff is documented anywhere. I've been researching this for hours.

The Veiled Virgin carved in Rome by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza in the early 1850s, the veil gives the appearance of being translucent, but in fact is carved of marble.

Australia’s oldest dictionary of Australian English has chosen “enshittification” – a slang term referring to the deterioration of products and services online – as the word of 2024.

In this "JFX In Action" interview, we examine the combination of #JavaFX and #Quarkus. Thanks to #QuarkusFX, created by Clément de Tastes, the many extensions of the @quarkus.io system can be used to create a desktop app. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9S... More info: webtechie.be/post/2024-11...
