java - How to change the caret color in JavaFX 2.0?

Question

We want to migrate a project from Swing to JavaFX as the new UI technology. As a part of our corporate design, we were changing the caret color in Swing to a light green.

How can we alter the color(or maybe also other things about the appearance) of carets in JavaFX 2.0? I couldn't find any useful information about it. I saw that it was possible in earlier versions of JavaFX, so i guess there's a way in 2.0 too.

Kind regards,

David

In the TextField caret has the same color as text. You can change them by:

    TextField tf = new TextField("Text");
    tf.setStyle("  -fx-text-fill: green");

or globally in css file.
