Application-wide css

[David Grieve]

Or add a listener to Scene.sceneProperty.

        stage.sceneProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Scene>() {

            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Scene> ov, Scene t, Scene t1) {
                t1.getStylesheets().setAll(APPLICATION_WIDE_STYLESHEETS);
            }

        });

Note that popups get their styles from the stylesheets of the scene of the window from which the popup was shown.

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.
