Trying to create a drop-shadow to my BorderPane. I need to use a StackPane to allow room for the drop-shadow. The problem is I cannot seem to set the background of StackPane to transparent. I am using transparent style for my primiaryStage.

There are other example using javaFX which work but, I can't figure it out when using fxml.

.StackPane{
  -fx-background-color: transparent;
}

This still shows a white background behind my BorderPane 

public class Main extends Application {


    public static Stage Window;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws IOException{
        Main.Window = primaryStage;
        Window.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
        Window.setResizable(false);
        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("Homepage.fxml"));
        Parent root = loader.load();    
        Window.setScene(new Scene(root));
        root.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("main.css").toExternalForm());

        Window.show();
    }

enter image description here

I found that when using a scroll pane it would dynamically create stack panes under it during runtime. Using scenic view I was able to see the style class name as 'viewport' and could change the background color that way.

Setting the window style might not work because the OS you are working on doesnt suppot that style. The documentation says about this:

On some platforms decorations might not be available.

But for a workaround for the stackpane, you should provide an example image of what you are aiming for. Right now its rather unclear what exactually you are trying to accomplish.
