  I finally figured out the process of creating and adding the custom skin assembly and have it work by studying your attached zip file (http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/general/how-to-load-skins-from-external-assemblies.aspx). My question is how do I add my custom skin to the list of defined skins that ship in telerik's version of Telerik.web.ui.skins. If I reference telerik's dll in the assembly then my custom skin doesn't show in the skin chooser. If I reference telerik's dll in the web reference list then I also loose the custom skin. How do you combine the both the telerik predefined skins and the custom skin together so they all show up in the chooser drop down list?

  Hello,
  
  The only appropriate way to add your custom skin(s) to the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll is to download and modify the source code of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Once you add your skin(s) to the Telerik.Web.UI.Skins application, built the application and this will generate a new Telerik.Web.UI.Skins.dll including your custom skins.
  
  Note that we do not support modifications of the source code and you should follow the guidelines provides by the following help article How to load skins from external assemblies and the code library that you found: How to load skins from external assemblies.
  
  All the best,
  Rumen
  the Telerik team

  I was afraid you were going to say that.
  
  Thanks
