The "symbolColor" property seems to be specific to the Spark skin and it's applied to the skin items returned by the "symbolItems()" getter. In the last SVN sources of Gumbo, FxTextAreaSkin isn't overriding this getter and thus no item will use this property. Am I missing something or are you perhaps posting examples faster than the developers can commit their changes? :) I didn’t test this example but I tried to understand the effect of setting the property from the Gumbo sources, without success.
