#Remarks

If the AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.False , the BackstageViewItem‘s glyph is drawn as it is. Otherwise, if the AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.True, an icon receives a specific color hue, depending on the BackstageViewItem‘s fore color.

For best visual results, use gray-scale icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery for those items whose AllowGlyphSkinning property equals true.

To specify global settings common to all BackstageViewItems within a BackstageViewControl, use the BackstageViewControl.AllowGlyphSkinning property. This global setting is used for all BackstageViewItems whose AllowGlyphSkinning property equals DefaultBoolean.Default.
