Hi Nir, this is a really good idea and something I want to see since the first time I used to set a Background/Border. I think a minimal constructor would be a nice first step. So instead of:
- setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK, CornerRadii.EMPTY, Insets.EMPTY))) -> setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK))) and: - setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK, BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID, CornerRadii.EMPTY, BorderStroke.DEFAULT_WIDTHS))) -> setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK, BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID))) We may can go further from that and create something similar like the BorderFactory class in swing, where you can create a lot of different borders easily.

BLACK, BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID, null, null)); new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK, null, null)); I was thinking of adding convenience factory methods Border.of(Paint stroke), or Border.stroke(Paint stroke) Background.of((Paint fill), or Background.fill(Paint fill) I was wondering if others would like this, or is everyone using CSS anyway? - Nir References 1. https://deref-web.de/mail/client/sT3TQpQ3T6k/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fopenjdk%2Fjdk%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2Fjava.desktop%2Fshare%2Fclasses%2Fjavax%2Fswing%2FBorderFactory.java
