I want to change the background color of the modal overlay from the default gray color to something more consistent with other overlays I am using in my application.  I see that there is access to the TelerikModalOverlay class, however, the div that this is part of has an inline style for the color.  Is there any way to set the color?

The html for the overlay is below:
<div class="TelerikModalOverlay" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; z-index: 7999; background-color: rgb(170, 170, 170); opacity: 0.5; width: 1904px; height: 825px;" unselectable="on"/>

I figured it out.  I needed to put !important in the style declaration.

My syntax now for anyone that might need an example:

.TelerikModalOverlay     
{     
  filter: alpha(opacity=60) !important;/*for IE 5.5+*/    
  opacity: .60 !important;/*for FF 2x, Opera 9x*/    
  -moz-opacity: .60 !important;/*for FF 1x*/     
  background-color: Black !important;       
}

Hi Kenneth,

Yes, when overriding classes, you need to use the !important directive for your changes to take effect. As an alternative, you could create a custom skin that you could use with the control.
More information on the subject is available in the Controlling Visual Appearance section of the documentation.
