StandOut works, but Recessed does not. (Vista Professional)

The problem with Recessed demo is fixed in the next JavaFX release. It was likely caused by a known bug in the jdk with gradients.

Thanks, I have emailed the guys working on effects to see if they can find the issue. Will let you know

Jasper,
when running under Windows 7, the Recessed demo does not work. However, by removing the following section from the code, the text will appear (so I doubt that font is the issue). Is there a problem when Blend and LinearGradient are used together under Windows ?

fill: LinearGradient {
startX: 0, endX: 0, startY: 0, endY: 1
stops: [
Stop { offset: 0, color: Color.rgb(190,190,190) }
Stop { offset: 1, color: Color.rgb(170,170,170) }
]
}

All the demos work fine using NetBeans except for Recessed.

Stand Out works for me but Recessed does not display any text (Win XP, IE).

I was wondering if that will crop up as I saw same issue on my wife’s PC laptop. But asked a few other people to try it and it worked fine for them. My guess its a issue finding “Arial Black” font. Does Stand Out one work for you which uses same font?

Hi,
Recessed demo doesn’t seem to work. No output when text is typed in the textfield. The rest of the demos are working fine though.

Wow! I am impressed about the great effects. This really brings JavaFX to a point, where it is of great use for graphics designers. Here you notice the huge difference in UI compared to plain “old Java applets”. This examples rock!

Kind regards,
Herbert
