JavaFX Real-World Apps: SkedPal

A new entry in the "Real World Applications" series. This time it is SkedPal, an application for managing a busy person's life intelligently.

If you want to try it out yourself then you can simply register on the SkedPal website and download the desktop client (they also have mobile clients).

FlexGanttFX 1.6 Released

Version 1.6 of FlexGanttFX has been released today. It contains the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements but also several new controls. It can be downloaded here. Gantt Chart Lite When doing some consulting at Emirates Airlines in Dubai the users and I came to the conclusion that the Gantt chart in their application doesn't really need a tree table view on its left-hand side. All it was used for was to show the name of the resource in each row. The users complained about the wasted space as every pixel on the screen matters for their work. So [...]

JavaFX Missing Features Survey: CSS

In the last post of the Missing Features Survey series I said that this post would be about missing features in CSS and FXML. Now it turns out that the survey submissions did not contain any valid FXML issues. So I will focus on CSS only. These are the CSS features that were reported missing: Full CSS support - some properties are simply missing in the current JavaFX CSS version, e.g. "fitToWidth" in ImageView. Also font inheritance is not working. Support for CSS3. CSS transitions - the ability to specify a transition right inside CSS. This would make it a [...]
