Available Options

Background effects highlight navigation controls and non-content areas in a Fluent Design application when its window has focus. The base background color depends on the active skin. DevExpress Fluent Design forms support the following background effects:

Acrylic (Default)

A semitransparent material that consists of five blended layers with individual noise effects and opacities. The acrylic material is a basic effect in the Fluent Design system.

Standard (Blur)

A simple blur effect applied to a semitransparent background.

None (Transparent)

A semitransparent background without additional effects. Use this option for maximum performance.

Fluent Design Effect Limitations

The selected effect is enabled only if the following conditions are met:

• An application is running under Microsoft Windows® 10 Version 1803 (build 17064) or newer.
• The EnableAcrylicEffects property is set to True.
• The form is not an MDI form and has no parent form.
• The form is skinned (that is, it has a TdxSkinController component whose NativeStyle and UseSkins properties are set to False and True, respectively).
• The form has focus.

Default Value
