Learn how to use CSS with JavaFX 1.3

Jim Weaver has written a great article on using CSS support in JavaFX 1.3 to stylize client-side user interfaces.  In his words:
"One of the hallmark features of JavaFX 1.3 is the introduction of JavaFX CSS, which provides the ability to apply styling to any element in the user interface. This article focuses on JavaFX Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which is primarily the domain of designers but is also important for developers to understand.

One of the strengths of JavaFX is that it enables designers and developers to collaborate on creating applications. JavaFX CSS is a feature of JavaFX that encourages this collaboration. As with traditional Web applications, developers can focus on an application's functionality while designers can apply styles to elements of the user interface."

New CSS Reference Guide and Improved JavaFX API docs

Improved JavaFX API documentation is now available on the web. This update includes a new CSS Reference Guide, improved summary documentation for several common packages, and improved class documentation for several preview classes.

New CSS Reference Guide. This guide includes an overview description of how CSS styles are applied to nodes in the scene graph and the various different CSS types that exist.  For each Node class, the guide lists the CSS properties that can be applied to that class.

Improved package summary documentation.  To view the package summary documentation, start at the main API page.  This page has a listing of all the JavaFX packages and shows a one-line summary for each. Click the disclosure arrow to reveal the summary documentation for that package. Summary documentation has been greatly improved for several important packages, specifically the following:
 
             javafx.animation
             javafx.scene
             javafx.scene.chart
             javafx.scene.control
             javafx.scene.layout

Improved documentation for preview classes.  To access the documentation for the preview classes, expand com.javafx.preview.control and com.javafx.preview.layout in the left nav bar of the API documentation.
