How to style FXML-defined popups?

[Werner Lehmann]

Hi,

the following works as an FXML alternative to adding the stylesheet in 
Java code:

>   <stylesheets>
>     <String fx:value="/the/fully/qualified/path/to/the/desired.css"/>
>   </stylesheets>

It also requires this

> <?import java.lang.String?>

which was a bit unexpected. URL did not work here because it was not 
coerced to a string.

However, this does not help with FXML-defined popups and contextmenus 
because those do not have a stylesheet property. According to my tests 
I'd have to set the property contextmenu.scene.root.stylesheets - not 
sure how to do that in FXML and it is a bit long-winded anyway.
