Look And Feel and Skinning

• Jan 23, 2019

The Windows Forms controls and components developed by DevExpress support the Look and Feel technology, which lets you apply a consistent look and feel across all or a subset of controls. The Look and Feel allow you to use multiple raster- and vector-based Skins or legacy paint schemes (for example, Flat or WindowsXP) (available for most controls).

The following topics provide details on how to specify the Look and Feel.

• For all controls within the application
• For all controls within a form
• For individual controls

See the Skins topic to learn about:

• The standard and bonus skin sets.
• Form title bar and border skinning.
• Vector skins.
• Making skin selectors available to end-users
• Modifying a skin’s color palette.
• The Skin Editor - a tool for creating and modifying skins.
