how to add custom radwindow skin to DNN website

[Noel Jerke]

Hi

I am using rad window in my DNN module. This DNN module is related to project management. User can select different skin for different project. For now we were mapping our skins to default skins provided by Telerik. But now client want some more skins. I got "Telerik.Web.UI_2010_2_826_Trial_hotfix.zip" from where I can get default skin files and images. And now we are stuck at how to integrated these new skins into DNN. I mean where to save these new skin files and how to access them.

Thanks and Regards

Hello Noel,

In your case you have several options:

1. You can use the RadSkinManager control in order to change the skins of all Telerik controls on the page. The control sets the default skin for all Telerik controls and this skin is applied if a control (RadEditor for example) does not have Skin property set explicitly.
2. If you need to change the skin of a RadWindow (or any RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX), then you can set its Skin property to one of the embedded skins. They works out of the box and you just need to set the correct name to the control's Skin property.
3. If the above solutions does not help and you need to build your custom skin and use it with RadWindow, then I recommend you to check these links:
