Public Property UseGlowColors As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to paint the glow effect using custom colors; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You can set the UseGlowColors property to true to paint the glow effect with custom colors. To specify custom colors to paint a glow effect for focused and non-focused windows, use the ThemedWindow.ActiveGlowColor and ThemedWindow.InactiveGlowColor properties, respectively.

If the UseGlowColors property is set to false, the window glow effect is painted with colors specified in the current theme settings.

The UseGlowColors property is in effect when the ThemedWindow.ShowGlow property is set to true.

The code sample below demonstrates how to enable custom glow colors for the ThemedWindow.

XAML

<dx:ThemedWindow 
    xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core" 
    ...
    x:Class="MyWpfApp.MainWindow" Title="Orders by Employees" Icon="{dxc:DXImage Image=BOOrderItem_32x32.png}" 
    ActiveGlowColor="Red" InactiveGlowColor="GreenYellow" UseGlowColors="True">
...
</dx:ThemedWindow>
