Application-wide css

[Werner Lehmann]

Hi David,

thanks. I can live with that but it was worth a question.

To explain the background, lets assume I wanted to style all my buttons 
in all scenes in the same way. And I don't want to duplicate the css 
obviously. Then it would be handy to have that @import feature because 
it lives in the css "space". I guess you could say it is personal 
preference to rather do it in css, not in java. By the way, I am going 
to have lots of scenes because we are in the process of migrating a 
largish Swing application, replacing bits and pieces with JFXPanels.

Maybe I should subclass Scene, Popup, ContextMenu (etc) to add such an 
application-wide css by default...
