Javafx 8 how to make mouse cursor invisible?

I am making a 2D shooting game on Javafx 8 and I would like to be able to make the cursor invisible so that I can replace it with crosshairs.

Is there anyway to make the mouse cursor invisible when it is on the scene?

In addition to Vince's response, you can use FXML to make the cursor disappear over a specific control or layout, e.g.:

<?import javafx.scene.Cursor?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.Pane?>
<Pane ...>
    <cursor>
        <Cursor fx:constant="NONE"/>
    </cursor>
    ...
</Pane>

To change your cursor, you'd use the scene.setCursor(String) method.

To change image

Using a reference to your current scene, pass in Cursor.cursor("url") to setCursor:

scene.setCursor(Cursor.cursor("url"));

To remove the cursor

Using a reference to your current scene, pass in Cursor.NONE to setCursor:

scene.setCursor(Cursor.NONE);

You also might be interested in the Cursor.CROSSHAIR value
