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.
