CSS styling of ScrollPanes broken in JavaFX 8?

ibibbyMar 24 2014 — edited Mar 26 2014

In my application, I have a ScrollPane. The CSS file sets the ScrollPane's background to a dark gray using the -fx-background-color setting... or at least it did. After moving to JavaFX 8, I've noticed that setting -fx-background-color on a ScrollPane now only sets the color of the thin lining around the scrollbars. The background of the ScrollPane remains a light grey color. In fact, I can't find a way to set the background color of a ScrollPane AT ALL anymore! Is this a bug, or is there a new way to do it that I'm missing?

.scroll-pane > .viewport  { -fx-background-color: red; }

Thanks, David, .viewport did the trick!

Btw, is this documented anywhere? The only CSS reference I could find for JavaFX 8 is this one, and it doesn't mention the .viewport style class.

While playing with the betas I often ended up resorting to use Jonathan Giles' ScenicView scenegraph explorer tool so I would find out how some control's skin had been modified in JDK 8 and adapt my CSS from JavaFX 2.x accordingly to have a proper appearance.

Thanks for pointing that out. I created https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-36393 for the issue.
