Adding hatch to skins

[Henry Derstine]

I have chosen the Mac skin and added a hatch to the Series-->Appearance-->FillStyle. In Fill Settings I have made my MainColor White and left the SecondColor what the skin populated.
In the designer the changes look the way I want and expect however at runtime it reverts back to the skin without hatching.
See the two images for a better idea. I am suspecting the Skin is overiding any changes I am trying to make.
Is there a way to add a hatch to series when you use a skin?

Thanks for any help

Disregard-
If you modify the series fillstyle in the new of the codebehind you can override the Skin.
For example-

Me.Chart2.Series(0).Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Charting.Styles.FillType.Hatch
Me.Chart2.Series(0).Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = Color.White
Me.Chart2.Series(0).Appearance.FillStyle.FillSettings.HatchStyle = Drawing2D.HatchStyle.BackwardDiagonal

Does the trick.
Thanks

Hello Henry,

This is expected when you have skin applied. Should you need to modify a predefined skin of the chart, you should set the modifications in the report constructor after the InitializeComponent method:

chart1.Series[0].Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.Styles.FillType.Hatch;
chart1.Series[0].Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;

Kind regards,
