    I cannot modify Radform in Visual Style Builder. It always shows blue theme. I tried to load predefined theme(Desert) and it did not change either. I want to modify title bar and system buttons(min, max, close).

    Hi Prapun,

    Thanks for contacting us and for your question. When modifying RadForm in Visual Style Builder tool, you should keep in mind that the theme of the title bar area should be separately edited. To do this you should load RadTitleBar in Visual Style Builder and style it accordingly. You can read more on how to style RadForm here:

    I hope this is helpful. You can write back anytime you need further assistance.

    All the best,

    I already customized RadTitleBar before posted this issue. I can customize most of the components except RadForm. I changed RadTitleBar but RadForm did not change. I attached a picture of RadForm and RadTitleBar with the same ThemeName. They do not have the same style. Please give me some tips to make it works. I tried everything to make it works for 2 days and it still does not work.

    Hi BK,

    After you create themes for both RadForm and RadTitleBar with one and the same ThemeName, open the xml theme file for the RadTitleBar and add the following stylesheet relation to the StylesheetRelations block:
    <RadStylesheetRelation ControlType="Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm" ElementType="Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadFormTitleBarElement" />

    The result stylesheet relations block will be:
    <StylesheetRelations>
        <RadStylesheetRelation ControlType="Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTitleBar" ElementType="Telerik.WinControls.RootRadElement" />
        <RadStylesheetRelation ControlType="Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm" ElementType="Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadFormTitleBarElement" />
    </StylesheetRelations>

    This will allow you to use the style that you created for RadTitleBar in the RadFormTitleBarElement of RadForm.

    I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

    Best wishes,
    Nikolay
