title: Textarea javaFx Color
body: <p>I'm trying to develop an app that looks like a terminal console, am using a TextArea for that and my wish is to habe a black background and green text,</p>
  <p>The point I want to do this without using any ccs template</p>
  <p>I know that my question can look like a duplicated in here:</p>
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29745413/javafx-textarea-background-color-not-css">javafx textarea background color not css</a></p>
  <p>or</p>
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21493634/javafx-css-styling-of-textarea-does-not-work">JavaFX CSS styling of TextArea does not work</a></p>
  <p>but after reading those and trying what they suggested I found no luck to solve my issue</p>
  <p><strong>What I tried so far (Unsuccessfully):</strong></p>
  <p>in the FXML:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;TextArea 
      fx:id=&quot;terminalTextArea&quot;
      layoutX=&quot;14.0&quot;
      layoutY=&quot;85.0&quot;
      prefHeight=&quot;64.0&quot;
      prefWidth=&quot;402.0&quot;
      style=&quot;-fx-font-family: Consolas; -fx-highlight-fill: #00ff00; -fx-highlight-text-fill: #000000; -fx-text-fill: #00ff00; -fx-background-color:#000000;&quot;
      text=&quot;Terminal&quot;
      AnchorPane.leftAnchor=&quot;10.0&quot;
      AnchorPane.rightAnchor=&quot;10.0&quot;&gt;
      &lt;font&gt;
          &lt;Font name=&quot;System Bold&quot; size=&quot;14.0&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/TextArea&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>and in the source-code:</p>
  <pre><code>@Override
  public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
      System.out.println(&quot;init here&quot;);
      terminalTextArea.setStyle(&quot;-fx-text-fill: black;&quot;);
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>The only thing that I get is a bordered color like in the image below:</p>
