Javafx 8 how to make mouse cursor invisible?

I am making a 2D shooting game on Javafx 8 and I would like to be able to make the cursor invisible so that I can replace it with crosshairs.

Is there anyway to make the mouse cursor invisible when it is on the scene?

Solution

  • To change your cursor, you'd use the scene.setCursor(String) method.

    To change image

    Using a reference to your current scene, pass in Cursor.cursor("url") to setCursor:

    scene.setCursor(Cursor.cursor("url"));

    To remove the cursor

    Using a reference to your current scene, pass in Cursor.NONE to setCursor:

    scene.setCursor(Cursor.NONE);
