| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boolean | true |
true to use look and feel settings provided by the parent object or default look and feel object; false to enable this object’s settings.

If the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property is active and the UserLookAndFeel.ParentLookAndFeel property specifies a non-null value, the object assigned to the UserLookAndFeel.ParentLookAndFeel property specifies look and feel settings.
If the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property value is active and the UserLookAndFeel.ParentLookAndFeel property value is null **null** (Nothing in Visual Basic), an object specified by the UserLookAndFeel.Default property controls look and feel settings. Drop the DefaultLookAndFeel component onto a form to customize the default look and feel settings.
The following code snippet specifies “The Bezier” skin as a default skin:
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.SetSkinStyle("The Bezier");
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.SetSkinStyle("The Bezier")
If the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property value is deactivated, the UserLookAndFeel.SkinName property specifies the appearance and look and feel of UI controls.
Note
We cannot guarantee correct theming if you deactivate the UseDefaultLookAndFeel property and specify different skins for individual controls. We recommend using a single skin/theme for all controls.
