Hi,

It is possible to apply a particular skin paint scheme to a whole application by using the  DefaultLookAndFeel component or the DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.SkinName property as described in the  What is the best way to set the same Look-and-Feel style of the entire application with DXperience for Windows Forms? KB article.

Another approach is to place BarAndDockingController onto a form and set the BarAndDockingController.LookAndFeel.SkinName property. BarAndDockingController manages ribbon appearance.

Let me know whether or not you are successful with this task.
