Remarks

The Glyph Skinning feature allows you to paint the LayoutGroup‘s icon in the same color as its header text. This property overrides the OptionsView.AllowGlyphSkinning property that manages the Glyph Skinning feature for the entire LayoutControl. The image below illustrates a LayoutControl with 2 LayoutGroups, presented as tabs. Tab icons are painted in tab text colors.

Layout Control - AllowGlyphSkinning

If you use the Glyph Skinning feature in your LayoutControl, we recommend the gray-scale icons from the DevExpress Image Gallery for the best visual results.
