I love the new designer, however two suggestions:

1) Changable theme for the WYSIWYG Designer. The current "yellow borders & white background" theme is *shudders* not so good.

2) The theme in the screenshot in the announcement thread as the "unified" theme.

Can you post a screenshot? I don't see the yellow borders.

It has something to do with your layout file.

The designer should look like:

I'm getting this error bubble: "Object reference is not set to a reference of an object"

This yellow stuff also occurs when creating a brand-new layout, so it isn't my layout file.

I should note that the compiled program looks and feels the way it should, it's just the WYSIWYG Designer.

Can you post a screenshot of the full window?

Are you using Java 8_20 + ?

I'm using JDK 8 Update 51, which appears in CMD as 1.8.0_51.

Here's the screenshot of the full window:

The orange color comes from your wallpaper: http://www.howtogeek.com/130233/how-to-change-the-window-border-color-in-windows-8/

I'm not sure why it affects the default text color. I wasn't able to reproduce it here.

Yep, I can confirm that. Changed the "Color" option of my theme and the WYSIWYG Designer is affected by the color.

Just something else that may or may not be of use: I'm using the 64-bit Java.

I tried 32-bit Java and no change. It's weird that it affects the WYSIWYG Designer. I did forget to mention that it also effects compiled apps using the unified theme.

Compiled apps using the default JavaFX Theme look and feel fine.

It is not related to Java 64 bit vs 32 bit. Apparently this is how the UNIFIED theme behaves on Windows. You can see it on other apps as well.

The WYSIWYG designer uses this theme.

@Erel : Just an update. Somehow updating to Windows 10 corrected this issue for me. The UNIFIED theme works perfectly now.
