This will be just a Separator in the next release. This image is actually part of the design documents — the TableView on the bottom hasn’t been implemented yet and combo/choice box is in progress.

The sample window looks very clean, modern and un-cluttered, I think congratulations are in order
Additionally, do you use a GUI builder tool, or is this all hand-cranked?

Cheers,

We have no plans to provide a Caspian style skin for Swing, however, using Nimbus it shouldn’t be to hard for somebody to port the skin designs over using Painters. See Jasper’s other blog http://www.jasperpotts.com/blog/ for more information on skinning Swing with Nimbus

Will there be a Caspian skin on Java swing?

Thanks.

I just published a new blog entry on the different ways to style something. What you really want is I think what is coming in the next release — full CSS customizability for Controls. At the present time, the best supported option is to fully replace the Skins. This is just due to time constraints on this release.

The window decorations is a good question. We’ve talked about the need to have a “WindowView” Control or something along those lines so that creating custom window’s is easier (what happens right now is you turn the stage to be transparent and then have to implement your own buttons and drag handling — we’d like that to be for free).

Verry slick. Can we expect a post on how to restyle these, not only colors but also shape, behavior, animations? Our designers need to know how far they can push it.

The window decorations, will it to be included in core JFX? If not maybe you could donate it to JFXtras?

Thanks for sharing, great blog so far!

Looking forward to the blog post about custom skins.

Btw, please don’t only do the standard Button in the tutorial, but also for example a more complex control like ListView.
