DevExpress Design skin is not applied

created 12 years ago

How can I use the "DevExpress Design" skin that you use in the dialog boxes like "Add DevExpress Item". I have it selected and it appears in the designer but when I run it switches to the other "DevExpress Style" skin.

this.navBarControl1.LookAndFeel.SkinName = "DevExpress Design";
this.navBarControl1.LookAndFeel.UseDefaultLookAndFeel = false;

    See attached picture. There is a DevExpress Design skin but it only shows up in the Designer. I know it may not be documented but I would like to see if there is a workaround to use this skin anyway or if perhaps you can provide it in a separate skin file I can import.

      The files are:
      DevExpress.Utils.Design.devexpress design.skin.xml
      DevExpress.Utils.Design.devexpress design.blob
      Can I import these in the skin designer or is there a way to reference these in runtime.

        Hello,
        I have attached a sample project that demonstrates how you can use the DevExpress Design skin at runtime. I hope this will be useful for you.
        Also, note that DX Template Gallery that appears after you click on the "Add DevExpress Items" item does not use this skin. This skin is used only in our control designers. DXTemplateGallery is created on the WPF platform and uses a theme that was specially created for it.
