Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use CSS—a powerful mechanism to control and tune the appearance of a JavaFX application. We reviewed CSS syntax, studied the JavaFX specifics of working with CSS, and used the new JavaFX9 and 10 API to create our own style property.

In the next chapter, we'll study another important aspect of the modern application—building a dynamic UI.
