Hello,

Our client Bryan Boudreau has been kind enough to send us a tool, which can take a ZIP file containing a RadControls skin (e.g. one generated by the Visual Style Builder) and create an assembly with an embedded version of this skin. The skin can be registered with RadStyleSheetManager, as demonstrated in this code library example:

Including custom StyleSheets as WebResources to RadStyleSheetManager

For instance:

<telerik:RadStyleSheetManager ID="RadStyleSheetManager1" runat="server">
    <StyleSheets>
        <telerik:StyleSheetReference Assembly="TelerikSkins" Name="TelerikSkins.Office2007.Calendar.Office2007.css" />
    </StyleSheets>
</telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>

TelerikSkins is the namespace entered in the third field of the tool.

Thanks, Bryan!

Regards,
the Telerik team

I created a new skin based off the default skin, changing just the font.  Some images are not loaded when the new skin is loaded.  An example is in the screenshot.  I had to load up a grid with the Default skin, download the images, and place them in the folder containing the page. Surely there's a better way as this means I will have to have copies of these image files in every folder containing pages where a grid is used.

If you look at the first bullet point on this page http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/visual-stylebuilder/overview it seems to indicate that it should be very easy to change the primary color scheme used in a theme, which to me sounds as though it should apply to all controls in that theme.  If this is the case can you explain to me how this would work?

 

Thanks.

Please consider specific components to build for color themes for people with disabilities, namely:

black on yellow - black components with yellow lettering, background pages yellow

yellow on black - yellow components with black lettering, black page background

Such are the demands of EU state administrations of the Member States and therefore there is need to build such motives. It is not easy for a programmer who does not know the inside of your components.

At the same time ask for information, when available new Visual Style Builder.

If I download the zip file directly from the Style Builder application, then upload it straight into the Skin Assembly application, it works fine, but if I unzip the file and rezip it without changing anything, Skin Assembly will go to the "Server Error" page.

Is it possible to use Visual Style Builder to modify the "Clear" skin which the Car Rental Demo uses?  Specifically, I'd like to change out the Red color for another.  I've tried to upload the Clear.zip file into the VSB page, but get an HTTP 400 error.  Really love this skin and would very much like to use it elsewhere w/"tweaks" here and there (i.e., colorization and ajax image sprites).

Thanks in advance!

Which is prefered and recommended way to create custom skins?

I know that i can create skin with Visual Style Builder and compile it with acTelerikStylesAssembly to DLL library, which i can attache to SkinManager etc.

I know that i can copy files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2015\Skins, rename it with acTelerikStylesRenaming or manual and place them in App_Themes folder etc.

But...

In C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\UI for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2015\Skins subfolders i have more folders and files than in skin *.zip file downloaded from VisualStyleBuilder. Why? If i create two skins by two different ways, my application will be working in the same way and looks great with both skins?

I must create four skins for my application (light and dark for normal users and two high contrast for users with some dysfunction), and this will be hard work for me, that i must know how to make it with minimal effort.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Is there an ETA on the Visual Style Builder supporting the RadNavigation control?

Also is there a support page for customizing RadNavigation via CSS?  I can't find one dedicated to RadNavigation.  At this time all I want to do is alter the background color of the default skin.
