hbox does not fit borderpane top

Question

My hbox does not fit into my top borderpane. I dynamically entered my hbox like this:

URL hBoxUrl = getClass().getResource("/gui/views/HamburgerMenu.fxml");           
loader.setLocation(hBoxUrl);
HBox hBox = loader.load();

rootLayout.setTop(hBox);

Is there any solution so that my hbox will fit my top borderpane? Can I do it via scenebuilder or by code? Here is what it looks like:

Thank you in advance.

It looks like there is the maxWidth="595.0" attribute in your <JFXHamburger...> element. Just remove it and HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS" will work as expected.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import com.jfoenix.controls.JFXHamburger?>
<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.HBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.Pane?>

<BorderPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">
    <top>
        <HBox>
            <JFXHamburger HBox.hgrow="ALWAYS" alignment="CENTER_LEFT" style="-fx-background-color: lightblue;">
                <padding>
                    <Insets bottom="5.0" left="15.0" right="15.0" top="5.0" />
                </padding>
            </JFXHamburger>
        </HBox>
    </top>
    <center>
        <Pane prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="800.0">

        </Pane>
    </center>
</BorderPane>
