@edvin ok, that looks good and I haven't seen getOrPut before but I am pretty sure I know what this method does ... this is awesome 👍

@frosch95 Sweet! If you have more syntax issues be sure to mention them here. @Ruckus for example knows all the little gems in Kotlin - and there are many!

@edvin I am going to change the example we made yesterday a bit to make it more "master->detail" as a business usecase

@ron OK Cool 🙂 We need some samples like that.

oh and during the traffic jam to work I had a nice idea

*tornadofx-themes"

containing typesafe css themes

That would sure be nice.. I've been thinking about adding a Windows 10 theme...

so you can include the jar containing the themes in your application and select the theme you want

With skins for animations on components etc.

I would love me a material design css that works in javafx/tornadofx

That's a lot of work, but doable.

oh start simple and build up from there I would say

I think a windows 10 theme with skins and animations is harder

Maybe if we create the first, the second won't be so hard.

well the live reloading will be a great help with that

Absolutely 🙂

is there a known cause why the window goes black when the alt-meta-j is used?

@ron No, I haven't figured out what's causing it yet.

@ron where will your example reside?

@ron How much of material design do you want? I don't think you can do the whole thing (with ripples, FABs, etc. without custom components.

@Ruckus Do you really need custom components or do you just need a custom skin? A custom skin can be applied via CSS, and I don't see why you would need to override the component itself?

You could probably do most, if not all, with a custom skin.

@Ruckus I think that would be a viable approach, indeed. Messing with the actual components will just create confusion and incompatibilities.

I just know some libraries like http://www.jfoenix.com/ decided to go with custom controls, though I'm not sure what the drive for that decision was.

Agreed

I think maybe he didn't know that it was possible 🙂

That's quite likely 🙂

Maybe we should try with a single component to see if this is indeed possible. Hm.. I guess the hardest part would be the actual animations, and I totally suck at that...
