Custom title bar in Javafx 2.0? - javafx-2

Is there any tutorial on how to create custom title bar in javafx 2.0? I am creating a desktop GUI app and want to have a black gradient title bar with custom buttons for minimizing and closing. Here is the tutorial for WPF. I am looking for something similar for javafx

To hide platform window:
stage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
Now you can create your own titlebar/window-buttons & style them.
Finally, check "Ensemble" from Oracle JavaFX samples, they've done the exact thing:

I don't think it's possible to modify the title bar directly. One of the solution could be to remove the platform decorations and add your custom "title bar" to the top of your windows. Here for an example : JavaFX primaryStage remove windows borders?

Changing application menubar in Eclipse RCP

I want to change the position of the application menu in an Eclipse RCP application. This is what my UI designer wants it to look like:
Note that you have the menubar on the left and a tab-bar on the right, thus saving a line of vertical space. I want the menu to still be the application menu, and work with all the other Eclipse extensions for controlling it. I just want it in a different place. Can this be done in Eclipse/SWT?
Not by default, certainly not in Eclipse 3.x or even Eclipse 4.2 using the Workbench. RCP applications fill in the main menu bar using their subclass of org.eclipse.ui.application.ActionBarAdvisor, filling in org.eclipse.jface.action.MenuManagers. All of the default extensions in 3.x are also based on interacting with MenuManagers. The SWT Menu used in the menu bar doesn't allow that kind of overlay, AFAIK.
In Eclipse 4 the menus are described in a model, and then a variety of renderers (defaults provided by org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt.WorkbenchRendererFactory) are responsible for creating the SWT widgets. In theory it's possible to replace some or most of those renderers (in effect implementing your own menu system using SWT composites or buttons or canveses) but that sounds like a lot of work.

PyQT Remove the programs Title Bar?

hi does anybody knows how to remove the programs title bar? (In PyQT or in Designer)
my goal is i need to replace it with my own title bar.
thanks to anyone who can help me.
The title bar is managed by the window manager and not by the application.
Therefore you can not modify the title bar with the Qt Designer.
You can hide the title bar with widget.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.CustomizeWindowHint) or widget.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint).
These and other options are described in the Qt documentation (Qt Namespace).
The Qt Window Flags Example makes them easier to understand.
This problem looks similar to yours: Qt4 custom window frames like in office 2007?

QToolBar: Is there a way to add QAction to a QToolBar in QtDesigner?

I've a PyQt4 Installed on Python 2.6. I wish to insert actions or widgets into a toolbar in QtDesigner instead of adding them in code, with addAction or addWidget (as simple as adding actions to a menu in design time).
You can add actions by dragging them to your tool bar from the "Action editor" dock window. You cannot add widgets to the tool bar in Qt Designer, I'm afraid you'll have to do this from your code.
You can create your own widget plugins with new or extended functionalities.
Just follow the definition rules from the documentation .
I use a lot of custom widgets inside the Qt Designer.
Once you have figured out, how it works, it becomes a really power full method for your design work flow inside Qt Designer.
