That's how it is implemented. No change events before the scene is shown (only initial values are read). 2. Now this would be a direct contradiction of the specification, which would make the user model much harder. Suddenly the "you can create and modify a scene on a background thread" becomes "you can do that, but for this particular API, you can't". Since we're doing all of this mainly for application developers, the user model must be the first consideration. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1655#discussion_r2076239473
