You might also consider a simple choicebox too if you don't need all the functionality of the SpinnerX.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.effect.ColorAdjust;
import javafx.scene.image.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class DropBoxExample extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
  @Override public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {       
    // create some choices.
    ChoiceBox choices = new ChoiceBox(FXCollections.observableArrayList(
      "64 kbps", "128 kbps", "256 kbps", "512 kbps", "1024 kbps"
    choices.getSelectionModel().select("128 kbps");
    // layout the scene.
    StackPane layout = new StackPane();
    layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk; -fx-padding: 10;");
    layout.getChildren().addAll(choices);
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(layout, 250, 100));
    primaryStage.show();
    // style the choice arrow.
    Node arrow = choices.lookup(".arrow");
    if (arrow != null && arrow instanceof Pane) {
      arrow.setStyle("-fx-shape: \"\"; -fx-background-color: transparent;");
      ImageView doubleArrow = new ImageView(new Image("http://aux4.iconpedia.net/uploads/923633044528065785.png"));
      ColorAdjust monochrome = new ColorAdjust();
      monochrome.setSaturation(-1); monochrome.setContrast(-0.3); monochrome.setBrightness(-0.3);
      doubleArrow.setEffect(monochrome);
      doubleArrow.setFitHeight(16); doubleArrow.setPreserveRatio(true);
      ((Pane) arrow).getChildren().add(doubleArrow);
}The code above replaces the default drop down arrow in the choicebox with an image of a double edge arrow pointing up and down, but, if needed, you can style the choicebox how you want using css (and the arrow via an svg shape if preferred - as is done in capian.css extractable from jfxrt.jar in the JavaFX runtime lib folder).
