Makes sense. For GUI components such as the FileChooser. The FileChooser in JavaFX is using the system GTK theme, regardless of Modena or any other configured styling. > > Does it mean JavaFX supports GTK3 themes?

I was wondering because I know Eclipse have been effected in the past by my installed GTK themes. To be able to utilize the GTK theme would have helped to keep theme consistent. Since dialogs such as FileChooser are using the GTK theme. > > Has Qt ever been a consideration for JavaFX instead of GTK? > > No. Why not? Would it be difficult to implement an Qt alternative for GTK in Java? If it is even feasible. In effect it means JavaFX will not work on systems that doesn't have GTK installed, though OpenJDK have no install requirement on GTK. I am running KDE which uses Qt, and apart from a very few applications I have very little reliance on GTK.
