In this tutorial I am going to create a transparent Stage (window) with JavaFX 2, this means that the application won't have a window around the image. In order to make Stage transparent we need to set StageStyle.TRANSPARENT. Also, I wanted here to add little close image, because I want to allow user to close application. Below you can take a look how our application will look in the end.



You can use any image that you like for background, but I used this one: Background Image, and h ere you can download "close" image
