Starting from version 18.2, the AllowBorderColorBlending property is ignored by default. You do not need to enable this option to change the card caption and border color.

The LayoutView takes the AllowBorderColorBlending property into account in the following cases:

In these cases, the AllowBorderColorBlending property functions as follows. When the property equals false, the card caption and border are colored based on the currently applied skin. Set the AllowBorderColorBlending property to true to enable card caption/border color customization (using the LayoutView.Appearance.CardCaption.BorderColor and LayoutView.Appearance.FocusedCardCaption.BorderColor properties, and the LayoutView.CustomCardStyle event).
