Using a cxDBNavigator in a light skin looks very well:

However using the same navigator in a dark skin does not look good at all:

No change in 9.13

I'm sorry, just I don't know how to make it. All glyphs must be stored in skins and loaded in navigator when skin is changed?

Even the TsDBNavigator does not look good in dark skins.

I think you would need two sets of glyphs: one for lighter skins and the other for darker skins.

Then load them in navigator on skin change.

I will think, but I can't promise a fast implementation of this feature.

Not to worry, I never use these dark skins myself. They are too gloomy for me.

However others may want to use them and the navigator is not good with dark skins.

It's still a mess in 9.20:

In TsDBNavigator, disabled buttons in a dark skin are invisible. However, in TcxDBNavigator these buttons really stand out, because the dimming is incorrectly skinned.

Disabled glyphs are drawn as alphablended in the TsDBNavigator component, I don't know how to make it better.

Glyphs in DevExpress extracted from resources and painted by DevExpress, I don't know how to change them…

I looked into it. I don't see how you can change the images either. Only the TcxNavigator.Buttons.Images gives the possibility to create custom images. But they should not be used by AC for obvious reasons.
