Question

I know it’s a fat chance I’ll find an answer here, but since devexpress support is a little slow I thought I’d give it a try.

Basically I’m using DevExpress 2011.1.2 beta, it’s been working wonders, I love it. But I had a small issue with it recently…

I inserted an expressbar on the Delphi form and used the images from cxImageList, however, I noticed that the icons on the bar buttons were showing black and white, but when I had my mouse over, it displayed the true colors. I did not modify anything, and yes, the button is enabled.

Here’s an image to better illustrate my problem:

I know the solution must be simple, however I couldn’t find anything related.

Thank you.

EDIT: After modifying the button’s property AutoGreyScale to false the color returned, but dull and lifeless, and when mouse is over it, more colorful.

ImageOptions of my Bar:

Set the button’s AutoGrayScale property to False. You may also want to change the value of the global dxBarMakeInactiveImagesDingy variable. The TdxBarManager.Style property may also have an effect.

Also, make sure you haven’t set HotImages while leaving Images unassigned.
