@GeekyCoder: I haven't played with the "standard" CSS attributes to see how they interact with the new -fx attributes. If you're used to CSS, it's pretty easy to pick up the JavaFX extended attributes.

@Tom: Yes, I'm well aware of the issue. I still have to convert XEtchedButton and XPane. Don't worry, it is possible and I plan to post another article tonight explaining how to do this and much more with the new stlying support.

Is there a utility function for processing the CSS data?

For JFXtras we would like to mimick Caspian on our components, so we need a way to get to a border or color or font that is defined on another component.

The caspian.css file is in /com/sun/javafx/scene/control/skin/caspian. Just unpack the jar file and take a look. Every core control is styled with this stylesheet so there are lots of examples of the available attributes. I'm sure Oracle will be releasing documentation soon, but in the mean time this is a great place to start.

there is a file called caspian.css inside the javafx jars. Now I dont remember where exactly it is. I've searched it at Netbeans open type functionality by searching Caspian class. It is at the same package.

Dear Dean.
Thanx a lot cause you are the only person who describe this question about new features of CSS in JavaFx 1.3

My question is where I can find all javafx-css-proprties for each component and also I'd like to know more about pseudoclasses.
Once again thanx a lot.
