Always show the promptText for JavaFX?

I saw a site that implements a TextPrompt.

http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2009/11/29/text-prompt/

In the implementation, there is a setShow(Show.ALWAYS) method to always show the prompt text whether a JTextField has focus or not. 

JTextField tf = new JTextField();
TextPrompt tp = new TextPrompt("Prompt", tf);
tp.setShow(Show.ALWAYS);

Is there a way to do it in JavaFX?

The way is to override the default css style of pseudo class "focused" of textfield. To do that load your own css file with this

.text-field:focused {
    -fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background;
    -fx-background-insets: -0.4, 1, 2;
    -fx-background-radius: 3.4, 2, 2;
    -fx-prompt-text-fill: transparent;  /* <----- Remove this line */
}

content and remove the -fx-prompt-text-fill attribute from it.
