Devexpress doesn't supports skinning of regular winforms controls. You need to use their own controls to get the application skinned/themed.

For TextBox you use TextEdit, for Button you use SimpleButton and so on.

But you can read the skin element colors at runtime and apply yourself.

Sample code from the above link(in case link rot in future):

DevExpress.Skins.Skin currentSkin;
DevExpress.Skins.SkinElement element;
string elementName;
currentSkin = DevExpress.Skins.CommonSkins.GetSkin(defaultLookAndFeel1.LookAndFeel);
elementName = DevExpress.Skins.CommonSkins.SkinTextBorder;
element = currentSkin[elementName];
Color skinBorderColor = element.Border.All;
