Event when CSS is applied

[Tom Eugelink]

Sure! I'm very curious what can be done better.
https://github.com/JFXtras/jfxtras-labs/blob/8.0/src/main/java/jfxtras/labs/internal/scene/control/skin/gauge/linear/SimpleMetroArcGaugeSkin.java

You can also checkout the sources, you should be able to run SimpleMetroArcGaugeTrial1.java without any other dependencies. Some of the other classes will have compilation errors, but the gauge should run.
