@Ruckus The base color property is used to set the theme is correct. But, you do not need a control in the scene graph to use it. You can try something like this in the css to check if it works:

.root {
    -fx-background-color: -fx-base;
}

OK, I got everything to work via the "unsafe"-route. Seems that Stylesheets don't work properly, if you don't use the whole App-infrastructure of TornadoFX. However, the accentColor property still throws an exception.

Now I'm having trouble customizing the appearance of a Wizard. How do I actually access/modify WizardStyles?

@edvin How can I send a value say string from a popup view to another view. I have tried using subsribe event but I couldn't change the value of a label once set on view initialization. How can I do this?

@carlw uploaded a file: Getting View Update from Popup

@aayush Does that code example look like what you're trying to do?

To use it, start the app. Then, press the "Open Second View" button. Drag the window off to the side and press the "Call Popup" button. Enter a value and press "Save Value". The second view will get the updated value.

@carlw Thanks I'll try this out. I was doing the same thing using subscribe with some modifications.

Stay tuned to the Slack Channel! We're just 3 hrs away from TorandoFX's intro to the world. I'll be posting during Edvin and Thomas' talk

is there a livestream i can watch?

we're not sure if it's being recorded yet. they haven't been recording all the sessions and edvin mentioned that we can't film it ourselves

worst case scenario is that edvin records the talk after the fact when it's still fresh in his mind

not huge, but the java desktop (incl. swing) # of participants is a little bigger than i expected

i propose the "edvin fireside chat" after the first snowfall

Hello everyone! Does kotlin support java9 runtimes? meaning, will I be able to create very minimal javafx kotlin app, which will be lightweight and executable?

@rwachol not yet. that's top priority after we get back from the javaone conference

(speaking about TornadoFX and not kotlin in general)

i haven't tried kotlin and java9 yet. supposedly, you'll use the java version of module-info.java (rather than something like module-info.kt)

Has anyone done some testing with java9 runtimes? How faster the startup is ?

I was looking for it, but basically Google failed for me

@carlw Which room is it in? Only few rooms are live-streamed.

Roman's talk on coroutines was really good too. He compared and contrasted some of the other coroutine implementations, going through the 60's and 70's before multithreading took over. I think the coroutines are important in JavaFX coding because it makes a nicer pattern where have a sequence of tasks interleaved with UI interactions. To do this in both JavaFX and TorandoFX, you'll need the Task class. Ex, something like this for a user interaction in between two tasks async { doSomethingLong() } ui { openModal() async { doSomethingElse() } ui { finishUp() } } Would be turned into doSomethingLong()

openModal()

doSomethingElse() finishUp()

The code in the first block (no coroutines) gets out of hand with error handling and if additions to the sequence are made

I put out another alternative on my youtube channel that uses wait/notify, but i like the coroutines better.

Sadly, it is not. Only 2002, 2003, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2020 are live streamed.
