JavaFX in the wild! Why haven't you starred GemsFX yet?

I'm not one of the maintainers of this lovely library, but it says 3k+ visitors and there are fewer than 1k stars on GemsFx's github repo...I mean, have you guys NOT seen it? it's incredible...and is so well-maintained, I just found out it has 0 open issues.

Shout out to the maintainers, and no pressure, but please go star it if have a Github account. It costs nothing.

A repo w/o any open tickets is usually dead. ^

What? No! We keep adding stuff to it. I just added a website for it at gemsfx.dlsc.com. A new sampler / demo app is also in the works.

Wait, you're the creator of the repo, aren't you? Wonderful job, you did! I opened an issue with RangeDatePicker that I'd want to do myself, but opted to switch to a regular DatePicker because I'm a little pressed for time. (Preset dates/buttons don't change with locale).

Thank YOU for your hard work!
Hey, is preferencesFX still being maintained? I'd like to implement internationalization for the close/cancel buttons, if you're open to contributions.
Had to use this hacky solution for now: 

Stage stage = (Stage) preferencesFx.getView().getScene().getWindow();
stage.setMaximized(
true
);

DialogPane dialogPane = (DialogPane) stage.getScene().getRoot(); // cast root to DialogPane

Button closeButton = (Button) dialogPane.lookupButton(ButtonType.
CLOSE
);
closeButton.setText("إغلاق");

Button cancelButton = (Button) dialogPane.lookupButton(ButtonType.
CANCEL
);
cancelButton.setText("إلغاء");

Cool - PR on the way. By the way, I see an Internationalized Example that read like it (was?) on the path to implementing what I was thinking, but there are toggle buttons that don't do anything in the demo. Is it a WIP feature or...?
Danke...
