SceneBuilder won't let you edit properties which are overridden in CSS (hence the CSS icon).

You can add or remove scene stylesheets by going to Preview > Scene Style Sheets

To view which properties are overridden by CSS, you can press CTRL+6 to bring up the CSS analyzer.

In order for the icon to be displayed when you add it through the SceneBuilder, you must select the absolute path property.

version javafx: 8.0.211
version java: 1.8.0 build 211

It is not visible in my picture, but it must be selected.
