JavaFX: Undecorated Window

Question

I am attempting to make a Windows PC Toast notification. Right now I am using a mixture of Swing and JavaFX because I did not find a way to make an undecorated window with FX. I would much prefer to only use JavaFX.

So, how can I make an undecorated window?

Edit: I have discovered that you can create a stage directly with new Stage(StageStyle.UNDECORATED).

Now all I need to know is how to initialize the toolkit so I can call my start(Stage stage) method in MyApplication. (which extends Application)

I usually call Application.launch(MyApplication.class, null), however that shields me from the creation of the Stage and initialization of the Toolkit.

So how can I do these things to allow me to use start(new Stage(StageStyle.UNDECORATED)) directly?

Answer 1

I don't get your motivation for preliminary calling the start()-method setting a stage as undecorated, but the following piece of code should do what you want to achieve.

package decorationtest;  import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.stage.StageStyle; import javafx.scene.Group; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.stage.Stage;  public class DecorationTest extends Application {      public static void main(String[] args) {         Application.launch(args);     }      @Override     public void start(Stage primaryStage) {         primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);          Group root = new Group();         Scene scene = new Scene(root, 100, 100);          primaryStage.setScene(scene);         primaryStage.show();     } }
