I'm in a bit of a rush, but below is a quick example to show you how it can be done by setting the StageStyle to Transparent and the scene fill to the color "transparent".

@Override
public void start(Stage aStage) throws Exception {
    Pane root = new Pane();
    ImageView img = new ImageView();
    img.setImage(new Image(getClass().getResource("pathToYourPngLocatedInYourResourcesFolder.png").toExternalForm()));
    root.getChildren().add(img);
    Scene scene = new Scene(root, 500, 500);
    scene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);
    aStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
    aStage.setScene(scene);
    aStage.show();
}

Let me know how it works out :)
