Select the HBox containing the Label 'X', set the Alignment to CENTER in the Properties Tab.

Select the HBox containing the Label 'Flat Win', set the Alignment to CENTER in the Properties Tab.

Notice the extensive use of container (VBox, HBox) settings to center and space the Labels. The resulting Hierarchy in Scene Builder should look like the following.

Select the third Label (Content) and select Wrap In > VBox from the context menu.

Select the second Label (X), right-click, and select Wrap In > HBox from the context menu.

Select the first Label (Flat Win), right-click, and select Wrap In > HBox from the context menu.

Select the first two Labels, right-click, and select Wrap In > HBox from the context menu.

Select the third Label and enter the value 'Content' for its Text.Select the second Label and enter the value 'X' for its Text.Select the first Label and enter the value 'Flat Win' for its Text in the Properties Tab.Open Scene Builder and save the file as 'FlatWin.fxml' to the resources folder of the project.Start by creating the UI elements in Scene Builder. Since there are no external dependencies in this project, this can be a plain Java project. The SnagIt window is radically different than the standard window and supports an always-present mode of operation. Rather than share the common appearance with other apps, the app vendors carry styling beyond the window contents onto the windowing controls and title bar. These apps prefer their own windowing styles from a branding perspective than the defaults. I've also noticed a trend in modern apps such as the current versions of Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect and TechSmith SnagIt. Screenshots may appear out-of-sync with the platform on which the user is running or a demo is being given.

While this makes the JavaFX app appear more like other apps on a given platform, it does introduce a problem during documentation for support and marketing. Like the Mac, Ubuntu 16.04 has a rounded style but the window title is also aligned to the upper left rather than centered.

The Mac has a rounded style with the window control buttons aligned to the upper left.

Windows has a square style with the window control buttons aligned to the upper right. The following screenshots show the same program's windowing controls on three different platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux. For example, the close and the size buttons of a JavaFX app run on a Mac are rounded and placed to the left. This produces a different look-and-feel across platforms. When a Stage is created or the primary Stage is accessed in an Application subclass' start() method, it is initialized to use the windowing style StageStyle.DECORATED. JavaFX provides platform-specific chrome around its windows by default.
