There will be different kinds of stuff, I want to append a view inside each item

@edvin How did you manage to make this navigation menu?

It looks like a plain, but styled tabpane. I think that's the component that you want to use because it'll meet your requirement that prevents the tab from closing when selected a second time

ignore the workspace stuff for right now...that's worth looking at if you were saving a complex entity spanning several forms. For example, if you were adding many thing to a course (room, professor, etc) and wanted to save them all at once

@carlw uploaded a file: TabPane Example

styling this should work. i'm looking for example that i might have to turn the boxes into hyperlinks

Thx, I will try it

@edvin does the CRM use a styled tabpane? it looks like you might have used a different hover action with an underline and removed the gradient for a flat style

@Juan Maybe I'm slow, but that looks like the exact use case for TabPane?

@carlw That's correct 🙂 The TabPane is pretty easy to style, and I think the exact design that Juan is working towards should be possible pretty easily 🙂

Okay, I tested the file sizes. Repository: https://github.com/jschneider/com.cedarsoft.tornadofx-minimal The results are: Kotlin only: 892 KB, TornadoFX (default dependency): 5.7 MB TornadoFX (excluding kotlin-reflect and glassfish-json): 3.2 MB

HanSolo's TilesFX looks promising. I'll give ya'll an update when I get somewhere

can i set a tooltip size somehow? my tooltips have font size 72 like

fontSize is not available

@edvin @carlw I got it!, I just styled the Tabpane. I couldn't manage to make the tabs centered to the screen, though.

Have you tried the side property of the tab pane ? Set this to top?

@carlw In css? If so, I just did and it didn't work

No, in the tab pane initializer

Something like tabpane { side = TOP }

Ok, it didn't work either @carlw

@Juan Do you want the tabs centered on screen or centered within the tabpane?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Cool! If it isn't what you need, you could investigate creating your own layout. It really isn't that hard, but it will force on you deeper understanding of the JavaFX layout mechanisms. Not wasted time 🙂

Like this, center on screen

I think you mean that you want the tabs centered within the tabpane and the tabpane centered in it's parent container. Let me see if that's possible to hack.

The solution there is not implemented very elegantly, but it explains what you need to do.

Ok, I'll check it ou
