Remarks

Use the LayoutGroup.AppearanceGroup.BorderColor setting (LayoutItemContainer.AppearanceGroup) to highlight the layout group’s caption and border with a custom color.

Starting from version 18.2, you do not need to use the AllowBorderColorBlending option for this functionality to be in effect.

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

• WindowsFormsSettings.BackgroundSkinningMode setting is set to Legacy
• WindowsFormsSettings.DefaultSettingsCompatibilityMode property is set to “v18_1” or earlier version.
