Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

JavaFX 2 is a great technology. It’s so easy to develop beautiful apps with FXML and CSS. But unforunatly – in contrast to Swing – there is no support for the native look and feel for Windows, Mac and Linux. So if you write a JavaFX 2 app it looks like a JavaFX 2 app. But many user – especially Mac users – want to have Mac OS X apps which look and feel like Mac OS X apps.

So in my opinion it’s very important to deliver JavaFX 2 skins for Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.7 which look and feel like their native original.
I recently started a project to develop native looking skins by CSS. Take a look at my demo application which shows JavaSwing LNF on Mac OS X 10.8 on the left side, and my skin CSS file for JavaFX 2 on the right side.

So take a look at my first demo: http://blog.software4java.com/?p=15
