JDK-8128574 - TextArea does not set selection fill color
Description
The font color in the TextArea control is unchangeable via the style property. Background color and Font Family do work properly. This appears it may have a similar cause as RT-4819.

Sample program demonstrating the problem is attached.

On closer inspection, it seems that the implementation for the textFill property in TextArea was not done in 2.0.x. So sorry about that. A fix is ready for 2.1.

The font face and size are honored. The background color is honored. The text color is not honored.

Leif: I've tried modifying the -fx-text-fill and -fx-text-inner-color properties using css for the target by id as well as the text-area and text-input css classes. None of these affect the text color in the running app. Example: default.css #console { -fx-background-color: grey; -fx-font: 18pt "Courier New"; -fx-text-fill: white; -fx-text-inner-color: yellow; } .text-area { -fx-text-fill: green; -fx-text-inner-color: blue; } .text-input { -fx-text-fill: brown; -fx-text-inner-color: purple; } Sample.fxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?import java.lang.*?> <?import javafx.scene.*?> <?import javafx.scene.control.*?> <?import javafx.scene.layout.*?> <BorderPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="200" prefWidth="320" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="Sample"> <center> <TextArea fx:id="console" text="The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog."/> </center> </BorderPane> Sample.java: import java.io.IOException; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader; import javafx.scene.Parent; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class Sample extends Application { public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); } @Override public void start(Stage stage) throws IOException { Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Sample.fxml")); Scene scene = new Scene(root); scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("default.css").toString()); stage.setScene(scene); stage.show(); } } The -fx-background-color and -fx-font properties from the id targeted rules are honored. Neither the -fx-text-fill or -fx-text-inner-color properties are being honored from any of the targets.

In caspian.css, the -fx-text-fill property is defined specifically for the .text-input style class, which means it is not inherited from the parent. You can either specify it directly for the .text-input or .text-area style class, or define the property -fx-text-inner-color for the container instead.
