How to change the Video Background Color - The Answer...Not the Question.

Question

Hello All,
I was struggling with the Video Background Color as I was setting up my DVD. I'm new to DVD Studio Pro. I couldn't get the color to change from grey to the desired black. I was moments from asking for help, but thought to try just a bit harder. The answer lies under Preferences, Menu, Video Background Color. Just thought I'd share for future search strings by others.
Ahh, onward!

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
  @Override
  public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();   
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused  {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;
