I made some changes to the useragent stylesheet for the Drawer so it removes the rounded corners of the TitledPane.

It fits better.

Indeed

I've completed the Workspace and Drawer docs as well 🙂

@edvin How would progress integrate with workspaces?

@edvin Maybe there can be some required sections of a workspace?

that darkness is default? when a drawer is open?

@ron Is it too much?

@carlw Progress, like an indicator? It supports dropping in the RestProgressBar pretty good. By we need some toolbar in the bottom as well I think.

It could show status messages, progress and customizable icons with actions.

@edvin A common indicator and message that all elements in a workspace could use if they had work to do

@carlw What's the best placement for something like that?

I usually put mine at the bottom, left justified

Will look at how others are doing this.

ok...seems like it might fit in with "WorkspaceServices"....things provided to the Drawers

in addition to layout and hide/show

I have an idea.

Right now I'm playing with the recording setup, would like to create some screencasts/videos.

great...it sounds like what you're building is the owner of the workspace frame which would be a good location for this. you could probably generalize this to be a set of required workspace drawers, making it just one more item in the workspace but without the hide/show control and maybe a limitation on the placement

Great, that gave me some ideas 🙂

We could consider including some default event that would update the message/progress etc.

I guess it is not possible to use

View#scene

within the builders on

View#root

. The

scene

will be constructed after the object properties were set.

We might be able to fix that if it's not available right now.

The problems seems to be that for the

scene

we first need to build the

root

object. So in the builder closure

scene

is

null

.

@hastebrot There is no

View#scene

, so I think you're hitting a node inside the builder hierarchy.

Oh true

Same for

primaryStage.scene

.

That's right, but we might be able to give access to the current scene anyway. I need to play a little with Alyssa, but I'll look try to figure it out tonight.

In the past I used an "empty" scene, and set the real

root

afterwards.

Nice. Have fun.
