#Remarks

The glyph skinning feature allows you to paint the TabFormPage header icons (see TabFormPage.ImageOptions) based on the foreground color.

The AllowGlyphSkinning property specifies the global glyph skinning setting for all TabFormPage objects that belong to the TabForm. If the property is set to **Default* or False, the feature is disabled. You can override this setting for a particular TabFormPage using the TabFormPage.AllowGlyphSkinning property.

For the best visual results, we recommend using the gray-scale icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery. See the Glyph Skinning topic for more information.

To enable the glyph skinning feature for custom buttons displayed in the TabForm header, use the BarManager.AllowGlyphSkinning property of the BarManager associated with the TabForm (accessible through the TabFormControl.Manager property).
