Layout

[Randahl Fink Isaksen]

Looks nice, Tom. But trust me: You could make exactly the same by using an adaptive layout approach (nested subclasses of Pane), and then your layout would work smoothly when resizing the window or changing the fonts or other aspects of the CSS styling of the calendar (padding, etc.).

A GridPane would probably be a good place to start – it supports the row spanning you need.
