JavaFX Tip 31: Masking / Clipping / Alpha Channel
Selection Strip I recently had to implement a custom control that lets the user select a single item out of a list of items. This "SelectionStrip" control had to lay out the items horizontally and in case of too many items allow the user to scroll horizontally left and right. The control was to be [...]

In one of my projects I recently noticed that it was hard for the user to see whether the content of a ScrollPane instance was currently scrolled or not. One way of making this more clear is to add a drop shadow to the top of the scroll pane. This is also something suggested by [...]

Back in the days when I was still implementing UIs in Swing I used to be a big fan of MigLayout ("one layout manager to rule them all", right Mikael?).

I believe that the result of this project is of high quality and [...]

JavaFX Tip 28: Pretty List View
When I look at the list views on my mobile phone I always notice that they display their scrollbar (normally a vertical one) very differently than JavaFX does. The same is true for applications running on MacOS X. Below you can see a snapshot of Apple's calendar app. You will notice that the scrollbar is [...]

JavaFX Tip 27: HiRes / Retina Icons
I recently had a lot of icons sent to me by a graphics / UX designer. It was my job to add them to a JavaFX application. Each icon was shipped in three sizes (16x16, 32x32, 64x64). The naming convention for them was like this: icon-name.png icon-name@2x.png icon-name@3x.png At first I thought that this was [...]
