How to get transparent list view in javafx?

Question

I have a list view. I want to make the cells background transparent. Currently, I am doing the following:

.list-cell
{
    -fx-background-color: transparent;
}

But, the color of the cells remain white. I have tried the same with other colors. It works for other colors. But, it's not working for the transparent color. How can I get a transparent list-view?

Change to opacity on the list view. – Alcoholic

But, wouldn't that mess up with the text opacity? – Bakunin

Well yes, perhaps it would help if you shared more code to explain for what effect you are aiming. – Alcoholic

Even if the list-cell background is transparent, the background color is still white which is what you do not want. But, I can't still be sure if you do not share more code or an image of what you are looking for. – Nathalienathan

If you make the list cells transparent, then you will see through them to whatever is behind them: ie. the list view itself. If you make the list view transparent as well, then you will see whatever is behind it. – Festoonery

Answer 1

You have to make both the list-view and list-cell transparent.

.list-cell {
    -fx-background-color: transparent;
}
.list-view {
    -fx-background-color: transparent;
}
