(The design of the Spinner has been refined and implemented in the JavaFX Spinner library control. Check this post and the JMetro page).

Here is Tom Eugelink’s spinner control from JFxtras with a metro style.It’s basically a control that allows the user to iterate through a list of values using an increment and decrement button.

I’ve changed the code on ListSpinner so you’ll have to use my version in order for the metro style css to work.

A sample app is included in the files.

Toggle button metro style:

You can get it at the usual places.

JMetro has  been recently blatantly copied by someone else who has than tried to make  it look like it was his own work. JMetro is under BSD license as are other components/controls present in the JFxtras repository, BSD license legally requires you to give credit to the original owner of the work.

There is no problem in using the work on commercial/non-commercial projects and on creating derivative work as long as you give credit to the original creator. Since I’m giving away my work for free I think the least I can ask for is some credit.

This update brings the ComboBox control to the JMetro library. The following pictures show the light and dark theme:

There is a slight miss placement of the popup. Which according to Jonathan Giles has been fixed on JavaFX 8.

Just a small update based on the metro style I’ve created for the scroll bars, here’s the ScrollPane:

I’ve also uploaded the code to the jfxtras-styles repository, so you can now get it from there also.
