In this tutorial you will learn how to create an application using existing resources. I will start with an existing NetBeans TV logo in eps format.

The template for creating a custom control in JavaFX has been upgraded to reflect the changes introduced in 1.3.
I strongly recommend to use that template, because it is necessary to implement several not-so-obvious things for fully functional and well-behaving controls.

Dean Iverson did a great write-up on the new Region and CSS support in JavaFX 1.3. He spent the past few days reverse engineering how it works so you don’t have to… definitely worth the read!
