The BorderBox element displays a solid background / border. When its backgroundColor is changed, the transition is made with a smooth fade transition.
The element is designed to be used as a decoration which only displays a border, background, and/or drop shadow.

This element makes a spacer appear between child elements in a box-layout container such as HBox or VBox. It is essentially an empty box which can be used to adjust the position of other elements.
For example, you might have an HBox with a width of 100% and add a PreviousButton and NextButton to it. If you wanted to force the PreviousButton to be on the left edge and the NextButton on the right edge, you could add a Spacer element between the two buttons and set its width to 100% as well. This would make it fill the entire box, forcing the NextButton to the far right edge.
