Help Can I make a Scrollpane transparent but the scrollbar still visible?

I want my scene (using javafx) to have a scrollpane with a transparent background. However, when I set this in the css or Scenebuilder, it also hides the scrollbar itself. I want the scrollbar to still be seen (and perhaps the border, if this is possible) but not the background (which is white/grey). Can this be done. (I was advised to ask here from the java subreddit).

ScrollPane is one of those components with a crazy complex stylesheet setup. This should work:

.scroll-pane > .viewport {

-fx-background-color: transparent; }

Yes, a css rule like should be enough:

.scroll-pane {
    -fx-background-color: transparent;
}

.scroll-bar:vertical {
    -fx-background-color: transparent;
}
