Hello,
I am using Q3 2008 versions of RadControls and and now trying to upgrade them to the newer version. I am using Vista skin for RadGrid and after the upgrade, it is not looking the same. To keep the same look, I am trying to use custom skins which I have downloaded from this forum. Using the instructions from this forum, I have been able to do this successfully for some controls like RadMenu and RadPanelBar but having trouble with the RadGrid. I am not very good at skins and CSS stuff but one thing I have noted is that other controls have two files like Menu.css and Menu.Vista.css but for Grid control I only see the Grid.Vista.css but don't see the Grid.css. Could this be the reason?
Also I have noted that when the grid don't have any rows then it seems that the old Vista skin is applied but when there are some rows then it does not show the old look. Any idea what I might be missing here?
Here is the forum I downloaded the skins and used instructions from
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/all-radcontrols-q3-2008-skins-are-now-compatible-with-the-q1-2009-release.aspx
Your help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Zafar

Hi Zafar,
RadGrid has a base stylesheet as of Q1 2010, that's why there is no such file in the ZIP, which you have downloaded from the forum thread.
Since the base stylesheet is an embedded CSS file and is registered after your custom skin, it may override some styles from the custom skin. To avoid this, please increase the specificity of your custom skin styles by adding a "div" in front of every ".RadGrid_Vista" class. I am attaching a simple demo, which works as expected.
>> "Also I have noted that when the grid don't have any rows then it seems that the old Vista skin is applied but when there are some rows then it does not show the old look. Any idea what I might be missing here?"
I am not sure why this would happen, please provide a demo.

Thank you very much Dimo for your great help!
Replacing the Grid.Vista.css file with the one from your demo fixed it for me. I am wondering if this is the file which should have been in the original download as the other won't work and will be overriden by the embeded CSS file.
Anyway, once again, thank you very much for your help with this as I could not have figured it out myself.
