    I have a custom calendar skin that I am using in the DatePicker control.  I call the stylesheet in the header, set the EnableEmbeddedSkins property to False, and enter the custom skin name in the Skin property.  When I run the application and open the calendar, the day row (SMTWTFS) is aligned to the right, which looks horrible.  If I move the stylesheet call into the body below the the scriptmanager, the calendar will display correctly.  It seems that the the default stylesheet is loading some styles after my custom styles and over-riding some of them them.  Is this a bug?  Thanks.

    Hi Trent Mosher,

    The RadCalendar base stylesheet contains the following CSS rule:

    .RadCalendar  .rcWeek  th
    {
        text-align:right;
    }

    You can easily override the above style by using a CSS rule with a higher specificity:

    (Note that .RadCalendar is a CSS class applied to a <table>, not a <div>)

    All the best,

    Nice.  Thank you very much. 

    One other note.  The calendar is in a table as you noted but the datepicker is in a div.  Not realizing this, I inserted table in front of the datepicker classes and the little calendar icon disappeared.  I changed it to div and it works perfectly now. 

    Thanks again.
