Keep it as simple as possible!
I have started a new major of FontAwesomeFX. First of all the new container for an icon character now extends javafx.scene.text.Text instead of javafx.scene.control.Label (see this post for details, many thanks to Peter Schulz for the hint!). If you know former versions of FontAwesomeFX you may notice that AwesomeDude is now called GlyphsDude, AwesomeIconsStack is… Continue Reading Introducing: FontAwesomeFX 8.1

When switching MQTT.fx to JDK 8u20 I was nicked by the fix of RT-24658. The fix definitely makes sense but may clash with my TabPaneDetacher approach.

E.g. in the PublishController “publishBox”… Continue Reading The JDK 8u20 “Tap trap”

The TabPaneDetacher provides an easy to use way to enable the detach capability of with any… Continue Reading TabPaneDetacher: Make your tabs detachable
