Overview

Techsenger StagePro is a library that allows you to create custom stages with nearly any configuration, while remaining easy to use. The project also includes a sampler module, featuring key samples to help you get started with the library.

Demo

Features

Key features include:

• Fully customizable title bar configurations.
• Support for dynamic configuration changes.
• Ability to place basic buttons on either the left or right side.
• Two policies for the maximize button.
• Styling with CSS.
• Dark mode support.
• Size effect (disabled by default).
• Only two events triggered during resizing (start and finish).

Currently, shadow for Stage is not supported, as it seems there is no way to set a shadow around a Stage using JavaFX. It is likely that this can only be achieved using native code.

Requirements

Due to some bugs, use JavaFX versions 16–20, or a version of JavaFX after 24-ea+19 (see JDK-8344372).

Dependencies

This project is available on Maven Central:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.techsenger.stagepro</groupId>
    <artifactId>stagepro-core</artifactId>
    <version>${stagepro.version}</version>
</dependency>

Usage

To create a standard Stage, use the code below. To explore all features, check out the examples in the sampler.

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
    var controller = new StandardStageController(stage, 800, 600);
    var content = new VBox(...);
    controller.setContent(content);
    stage.show();
}

Code Building

To build the library use standard Git and Maven commands:

git clone https://github.com/techsenger/stagepro
cd stagepro
mvn clean install

Running Sampler

To run the sampler execute the following commands in the root of the project:

cd stagepro-sampler
mvn javafx:run

Please note, that debugger settings are in stagepro-sampler/pom.xml file.
