    I was going to survey some non-Java frameworks like GTK to see if there were any improvement that TornadoFX could incorporate.

    haha very true. Understandable, maybe for the time being I might go ahead and focus on working with drag-and-drop between the 2 panels, and then I will come back to this gridpane issue.

    What does your target HTML look like?

    I've worked with bootstrap extensively, I was just wondering if it was possible to apply something like bootstrap to a native web app

    i’m thinking more about using colspan/rowspan with GridPane and have that carry over into the various col styles of Bootstrap

    my target HTML? For framing? I'd have to check at work 🙂

    yeah, you’re generating something. CSS Grid, Flexbox, Bootstrap, <table>, etc?

    ah, that was something I was thinking about doing manually. To my knowledge there's nothing of the sort, so I was going to have creating my own parsing methods

    I'm not sure about Grid or Flexbox - I came into work only a couple months ago, and from what I've seen, we use mostly bootstrap and MooTools

    the guy who wrote our current pagebuilder used a js module system and xml to create formatting and css besides that

    it's.... I would honestly love to rewrite it but the reality is that we honestly need to rewrite the entire front end

    it might not be done until we switch over to react.js for the front-end, so I want to at least rewrite the styling and parsing for js until we can switch over to a slightly better solution

    Is there a way to change the color of the progress indicator when using 
    runAsyncWithProgress{}
    ?

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez GridPane sounds like a good match for your requirements because of the adaptive nature of what you’re generating. That is, desktop design is more rigid (good and bad) than what people are doing today on the web. I think you’ll want to make heavy use of relative relationships instead of trying to map JavaFX components to heavily-styled divs

    Also, I'm trying to make the window unresizable using
    Copy code
    prefWidth = 335.px
     minWidth =  335.px
     maxWidth = 335.px
     prefHeight = 545.px
     minHeight = 545.px
     maxHeight = 545.px
    But I'm still able to resize it..

    I think gridpane is good for UIs that are going to be generated since you aren’t going to go an and have to maintain the screen itself. For example, jumping in and adding an item to the VBox is easier than shuffling the rows and columns

    by generated i mean programatically constructed through loops + logic rather than coded or built w. Scene Builder

    @Juan You’ll want to do this kind of thing on the Stage rather than any Node or Scene objects

    I wanted to use fxml originally because, while INCREDIBLY verbose it would be very very easy to generate new fxmls

    But I want to make a single view to be unresizable, not the whole project

    but the window of a single view

    do you display other views in other dialogs or stages?

    11/19/2017, 11:12 PM
    I might have to do a little maintenance on the screen, just for keeping track of states possibly for drag-and-drop. I'm not 100% sure yet

    are you using 1 Stage and transitioning off the login screen to something else?
