OK, update from my previous post. I did finally figure out how to drag my window around. It's not perfect, but I updated all my code. I still have the problem of it jumping around the screen when I click and drag, but at least it is draggable now.
Main.java http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=he5RGK75 MainController.java http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=VFH4AkLP Main.fxml http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=w7KHTkXy Again, you will need to add your own background transparent Image for this code to work 100%. The Main.fxml shows you the path of where it goes. Torak On Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 12:52 PM, Exo Verse <tora...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ahh yes, the lwjglfx solution.
