We’ve taken advantage of the language shift to extensively remodel the layout APIs based on a year’s worth of tire-kicking. Great post on layout by Amy Fowler, recommended reading for anyone interested in JavaFX 2.0.
(more…) JavaFX2.0 Layout: A Class Tour, by Amy Fowler In the image above by Bady, you can see the segmented button bar in the toolbar area of the application. This is essentially nothing more than an HBox of buttons that has been styled such that the first button has rounded left edges, the center buttons are squared up, and the last button has rounded right edges. One of the use cases we used for our CSS support and our ToolBar API was that we wanted to support a style of toolbar button which (at least for me) was popularized on the Mac, which is referred to by Cocoa as a “segmented” button. I got hooked on Dribbble last Thursday and have been looking at a bunch of the mockups and itching to try implementing some of them in JavaFX.
One of Jasper’s favorite websites is called Dribbble, which is a place for designers to post whatever work they’re currently working on for others to view and be inspired from.

It somehow just burst into existence, through the brilliance of Amy Fowler, whom many should know as the layout guru for both Swing and JavaFX. Inside the JavaFX team, since times of yore (that is, since at least JavaFX 1.3, but perhaps earlier – my memory fails me here), we’ve had this remarkable little tool that was called Scenic View. I certainly know I have done that countless times in the past when building user interfaces, and frankly, it is painful and massively time consuming. UI developers come up with all kinds of tricks, for example, temporarily introducing a bold one pixel border of varying colours around components to better understand the user interface. I understand and feel for people in this situation.

Therefore, FX Experience will become read-only for new blog posts, but weekly posts will continue to be published on. One thing I've noticed recently is that maintaining two sites ( FX Experience and ) takes more time than ideal, and splits the audience up. I've been maintaining FX Experience for a really long time now, and I love hearing from people who enjoy my weekly links roundup.
