  Hello,
  
  First of all, I have been looking through all the posts looking for similar problem and despite there is an interesting post it hasn´t helped me, so I have decided to open a new thread.
  
  I have added a RadDateTimePicker and I would like to apply a theme but not to the textbox but to the calendar. The background of the calendar is white and I would like to change it. I don´t mind to change a background color to the header or just change the theme to a radCalendar.
  
  I have implemented the following code but didn´t work:
            this.radDateTimePicker1.ThemeName = "Telerik";
  Unfortunately the theme is only applied to the textbox and calendar keeps the default theme.
  
  What can I do to apply a theme ONLY to the calendar?
  
  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Phenicy Informatica Srl .,
  
  This is very strange issue and we aren't able to reproduce it. However you can use the sample code below to control the properties of the RadCalendar used in RadDateTimePicker. Here is the code snippet: 

  
  

  RadCalendar calendar = (this.radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.GetCurrentBehavior() as RadDateTimePickerCalendar).Calendar;

  calendar.ThemeName = "Telerik";

  I hope this helps you. Please contact me if you have any other questions regarding RadDateTimePicker.

  Hi Boyko,
  
  I have used the code you have written and unfortunately didn´t work.
  
  It doesn´t apply any theme.
  
  I don´t know whether worked for more people, at least not to me. Did work to you, Phenicy Informática Srl.?
  
  any more ideas?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello Patxi,
  
  By default only the ControlDefault theme is loaded. If you want to use any other theme in your application you will need to drag and drop the corresponding theme component(e.g. Office2007Black). When you change the ThemeName from the dropdown the theme will be applied. I have attached a very simple project demonstrating how you can change themes. You need to add references to Telerik.WinControls.UI, Telerik.WinControls, Telerik.WinControls.Themes.Telerik and TelerikCommon assemblies.
  
  Please write me back if you need more information.
  
  All the best,
