Summary

We reviewed a lot of effects in this chapter. Note that some of them are already used in the JavaFX controls so you are not always obliged to add them to have a modern-looking application. Also, not all effects are eye candy: Blend, Lighting, ColorAdjust, and others are powerful tools to create interesting functionality.

In the next chapter, we will look at integrating our applications with external content through the powerful Media and WebView components.
