With the help of many here I figured out a way to dynamically change the style of certain rows with a rowFactory. Maybe I when too far and thought it would be cool if the root item of expanded rows not only had different text and background colour but also a different size.
My requirement is that I don't want to see the rootItems while it is expanded but I still want to be able to click on the disclosure node to collapse it again. Furthermore, some items are single and will just appear without a disclosure node. In other words, the rootItems with children are only a representation of what is hidden when collapsed (for example the average or total of their quantity)
The problems appear when manipulating (collapse/expand) the rows while the table is scrolled down. To reproduce: run the code, expand carrots, scroll down, expand potatoes.
I tried to add and remove a custom styleClass instead of using a pseudoclass just in case that was the issue but it seems to be doing the exact same thing.
Questions: Is there a fix? Did I do something wrong in my rowFactory?
Followup question : Am I too ambitious with what javafx can do? Should I be using something else like OpenGL for my game UI?
Here is a simple example:
public class RowStyling extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
BorderPane rootPane = new BorderPane();
Scene scene = new Scene(rootPane,200,150);
scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
rootPane.setCenter(createTable());
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}

TreeItem<Product> carrots2Item = new TreeItem<Product>(new Product("carrots", 4));

TreeItem<Product> averageCarrotsItem = new TreeItem<Product>(new Product("carrots", 2));

TreeItem<Product> averagePotatoesItem = new TreeItem<Product>(new Product("potatoes", 1));
averagePotatoesItem.getChildren().addAll(potatoes1Item,potatoes2Item,potatoes3Item);
TreeItem<Product> singleVegy1Item = new TreeItem<Product>(new Product("singleVegy1", 3));
TreeItem<Product> singleVegy2Item = new TreeItem<Product>(new Product("singleVegy2", 5));
rootItem.getChildren().addAll(averageCarrotsItem,singleVegy1Item,singleVegy2Item,averagePotatoesItem);
table.setRoot(rootItem);
table.setShowRoot(false);
TreeTableColumn<Product, String> nameCol = new TreeTableColumn<>();
TreeTableColumn<Product, Number> quantityCol = new TreeTableColumn<>();
nameCol.setCellValueFactory(new TreeItemPropertyValueFactory<>("name"));
nameCol.setPrefWidth(120);
quantityCol.setCellValueFactory(new TreeItemPropertyValueFactory<>("quantity"));
//row factory to toggle a pseudoclass when the row has multipleChildren
table.setRowFactory(t-> new TreeTableRow<Product>(){
@Override
public void updateItem(Product prod, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(prod, empty);
if(prod==null||empty) {
