Remarks
A Layout control can have individual look & feel settings or synchronize (recommended) with the active skin and palette specified using a TdxSkinController component or the Project Settings dialog.
You can set the DefaultUseGlobalSkin
class property to bTrue or bFalse at application startup to explicitly enable or disable synchronization with global skin and palette settings for all Layout controls in the application. The UseGlobalSkin property allows you to override the DefaultUseGlobalSkin
setting at the level of individual Layout controls.
