Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	true if the label image is painted based on the label’s foreground color; otherwise, false.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

The glyph skinning feature allows you to fill the label image using a hue specified by the label’s foreground color (the LabelControl.Appearance.ForeColor property). If the AllowGlyphSkinning property is set to Default or False, this feature is disabled.

For the best visual results, we recommend using grayscale icons with the glyph skinning feature. The DevExpress Image Gallery and Context-Dependent Images provides a set of grayscale icons, which can be used freely in your application.
