JavaFX中有2种颜色的背景？

Question

In JavaFX 2, using CSS, is it possible to create a background with 2 colors? Think of eg a TableCell with a height of 10 px. I want to the first 2 px (vertically) to be red, the remaining 8 px (vertically) shall stay at the default background color. Is that possible using CSS in JavaFX 2? How?

Example:

Original background:

Desired result:

(the upper 2 pixels were replaced by red)

Thanks for any hint on this!

Answer 1

I used a simple layer of background colors to produce a red highlight (similar to Stefan' suggested solution).

/**
 * file: table.css
 *   Place in same directory as TableViewPropertyEditorWithCSS.java.
 *   Have your build system copy this file to your build output directory.
 **/

.highlighted-cell {
  -fx-text-fill: -fx-text-inner-color;
  -fx-background-color: firebrick, gainsboro;
  -fx-background-insets: 0, 2 0 0 0;
}

For a standard region like a stackpane, all you really need to do is apply the above css (less the -fx-text-fill ) to get the desired result.

Here is another tricky way to define the color using a gradient:

-fx-background-color: 
  linear-gradient(
    from 0px 0px to 0px 2px, 
      firebrick, firebrick 99%, 
    gainsboro
  );

In the screenshot below, the value cells are highlighted (by having the highlighted-cell css class applied to them) if have the value false .

Highlight cell style class switch logic:

public void updateItem(Object item, boolean empty) {
  super.updateItem(item, empty);
  if (empty) {
    ....
    getStyleClass().remove("highlighted-cell");
  } else {
    if (getItem() instanceof Boolean && (Boolean.FALSE.equals((Boolean) getItem()))) {
      getStyleClass().add("highlighted-cell");
    } else {
      getStyleClass().remove("highlighted-cell");
    }
    ...
  }
}

It looks good when the highlighted-cell style class applied to a standard table cell (during an updateItem call for a custom cell) but does have a couple of drawbacks. The table coloring scheme is very subtle and complex. It has highlights for odd/even values, highlights for selected rows, highlights for selected hovered rows, highlights for focused rows and cells, etc. Plus it has various combinations of all of the above. Just setting the background-color directly in the highlight-cell class is a kind of brute force way to achieve what you want because it does not take all these other subtleties into account and just overrides them, so a cell which has been highlighted using this style always looks the same no matter what temporary css psuedo-class state has been applied to it.

It's fine really, but a nicer solution would color the highlighted cell differently depending on psuedo-class states. That is quite a tricky thing to do though and you could waste a lot of time playing around with various states and css selector combinations to try to get the nice changing highlight. In all, for this example it didn't seem worth that extra effort for me, though it may be for you.

Answer 2

Look, how to understand the CSSRef:

http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html

Look at

-fx-background-image :

uri [ , uri ]*

A series of image URIs separated by commas.

Look at

-fx-background-repeat

repeat-style [ , repeat-style ]*

where repeat-style = repeat-x | repeat-y | [repeat | space | round | stretch | no-repeat]{1,2}

A series of values separated by commas. Each repeat-style item in the series applies to the corresponding image in the background-image series.

Look at : -fx-background-position

bg-position [ , bg-position ]* where = [ [ [ size | left | center | right ] [ size | top | center | bottom ]? ] | [ [ center | [ left | right ] size? ] || [ center | [ top | bottom ] size? ] ]

A series of values separated by commas. Each bg-position item in the series applies to the corresponding image in the background-image series.

So, what can you see : you should describe 2 images, (2x2 pixels each - one red and one - grey) Two bg positions, and two repeat styles for each of them corresponding.

How?

example :

{
-fx-backdround-image : "path_to_red", "path_to_grey";
-fx-background-repeat : repeat-x, stretch;
-fx-background-position : 0px 0px, 0px 2px;
}

I don't give a garantee on workness of the code, but the idea seems correct.

Maybe possible with only colors instead of images when using insets. Example from original JavaFX CSS:

.table-row-cell:odd {
  -fx-background-color: -fx-table-cell-border-color, derive(-fx-control-inner-background,-5%);
  -fx-background-insets: 0, 0 0 1 0;
}
