By default, the AllowFormGlass property is set to DefaultBoolean.Default. This is equal to True for the Microsoft Windows OS’s that support the Windows Aero interface.
For Microsoft Windows OS’s that do not support the Aero interface, the window frame is painted as follows:
- according to the OS’s visual settings, if the AllowFormGlass property is set to Default or True;
- using a skin, if the AllowFormGlass property is set to False.
To enable the form glass effect for all Ribbon Forms at once, utilize the static WindowsFormsSettings.AllowRibbonFormGlass setting.
