Tips for customizing the appearance of Java FX TableView column headers with CSS

I am relatively new to JavaFX and delving into CSS stylesheets, as well as using stackoverflow. I am curious about how one can customize the styling of a table column header. This is what my current column header looks like: Current appearance of my table view column header

This is the desired look I am aiming for: Desired styling I wish to achieve

Despite attempting to apply various CSS styles, I have not been successful:

.table-view .column-header .nested-column-header
{
    -fx-background-color: #AAAAAA;
    -fx-background-radius: 0;
    -fx-background-insets: 0;
    -fx-effect: dropshadow(gaussian, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6), 2, 0.5, 1, 1);
}

.table-view .column-header
{
    -fx-background-color: #AAAAAA;
    -fx-background-radius: 0;
    -fx-background-insets: 0;
    -fx-effect: dropshadow(gaussian, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6), 2, 0.5, 1, 1);
}

.table-view .column-header .filter
{
    -fx-background-color: #AAAAAA;
    -fx-background-radius: 0;
    -fx-background-insets: 0;
    -fx-effect: dropshadow(gaussian, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6), 2, 0.5, 1, 1);
}

I also examined the caspian.css file within the jfxrt.jar, but unfortunately, it did not provide me with the necessary guidance.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, they would be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Answer №1

If you're looking to change the appearance of your column headers, I suggest trying out these specific style classes:

.table-view .column-header-background

In my own experience, altering the CSS related to column headers using the following code snippet proved effective:

.table-view .column-header,
.table-view .column-header .filler,
.table-view .column-header-background .filler {
    -fx-background-color: red;
}

It might be worth double-checking if you are dealing with a tree table rather than a regular table, as the styling class is labeled tree-table-view instead of table-view.
