JavaFX sliders have annoying animation that slows down resizing

It's very distracting and annoying. What can we do? I tried to find an option to deactivate this fading effect but could not. I also looked inside of the code of this slider and could not find the part that does it. We need to find a way to fix that or we find a similarly good and simple looking slider...

Another solution is to prevent resizing of the panel for every size change. I beleive there is something like a 'block' parameter that can be used on nodes.

This is actually based on Ticks and Labels which you set true.

        mSlider.setShowTickLabels( false );
        mSlider.setShowTickMarks( false );

If you does not want animation behavior, we need to have our own SliderSkin/Slider class where we can disable NumberAxis's animation.

I see, maybe we should really do a lightweight and fast slider. I don’t understand why they would do that.

Could you have a look at that? When you say “own SliderSkin/Slider class “ does it mean we ‘clone’ the existing slider? How much work is it?

Cheers ;-)
