JavaFX8 -fx-background-image不起作用

Question

I want to set background image of root-pane. For this purpose, I add this inline style to root-pane.

-fx-background-image: url("image.png");

Image is in same directory as FXML file. I checked path at least 10 times. Can somebody say, what's wrong?

Don't use inline style for fxml. There is a discussion here :

Please pay attention James_D's answer.

By the way, if you use external css file, your code will work. Please try 'styleclass' property in root tag.
