Can we change the tab's size of TabPane in JavaFX? I am using SceneBuilder but it seems it doesn't offer any customozation of the tab's size

Currently I have something like this

.

What I want is basically the tabs to fill the parent and when it is clicked it will show the other forms like this (I made it with button as only the rough image)

enter image description here

Is it possible to do something like this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

As far as I know the width and height of elements are read-only. You can set -fx-pref-width, -fx-pref-height, -fx-max-width, -fx-min-width, -fx-max-height, -fx-min-height ,-fx-border-width and -fx-border-height to adjust the size of Java FX elements.

You can do what you want by using Css:

.tab {

    -fx-pref-width: 250
} 
.tab-header-background {
    -fx-background-color:transparent
}

.tab-pane{
    -fx-padding: 0 -1 -1 -1
}
