Remarks
A supported Navigation Bar View 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.
Supported Navigation Bar Views
Only the following Navigation Bar Views support skins:
- Accordion
- Hamburger
- Skin Explorer Bar
- Skin Navigation Pane
Note
All other Navigation bar Views rely on their own draw routines.
Individual View Skin Settings
If one of the supported Navigation Bar Views is selected using the ViewStyle property, the TdxNavBar control uses global skin and palette settings.
You can expand the ViewStyle node and use the SkinName property to select an individual skin for the TdxNavBar control. If a vector skin is selected, it uses the color palette defined at the global level.
