Make JMetros stylesheet be an user agent stylesheet about jfxtras-styles HOT 4 OPEN

A quick way to do this might be to add the modena stylesheet first when applying the JMetro theme. And then after add the JMetro stylesheets.

I think maybe this should also be a setting: enable/disable JMetro as an user agent stylesheet.

Isn't this as simple as copying everything from moderna.css to jmetro.css and then call this method?

Application.setUserAgentStylesheet("jmetro.css");

There is just one minor problem that this public method cannot accept multiple css files, so all the jmetro css files need to be combined into a single css file.

Hi @runiter

You've answered yourself 🙂

Not so simple as setUserAgentStylesheet only accepts 1 stylesheet and JMetro has various stylesheets.
The best way would be to convince the JavaFX team to add API so that you can provide more than 1 stylesheet to be used as a userAgentStylesheet.

Combining JMetro into a single stylesheet has these disadvantages:
1 - maintenance problem. You would have 1 huge stylesheet with thousands of lines. It's already an issue as it is now, and this would make it much more problematic.
2 - Dark and Light style definitions are defined in 2 separate stylesheets which are added/removed according to what style you choose (Dark or Light)

Possible solutions:
1 - Possibly have a gradle task that copies everything into a single stylesheet before compiling/releasing
2 - Have all definitions in a single stylesheet (which would be maintenance problem as I already explained) and just the variables for dark or light style be defined in a Scene stylesheet

None of these solutions would be ideal. The best, I think, as I said, would be for JavaFX to have an API that supports setting more than 1 stylesheet as user agent stylesheets.

Thanks!
