Hi Telerik:
The new version is gorgeous , everything is inside of the dll but there is a problem with the skins.
I Have customized "Web20" using Q3 2007. So i have a folder on the root of my application with the all the templates and files of this Skin and this folder has the same structure that Radcontrol , as following :
Project.
App_Data
Bin
Default1.aspx
Default2.aspx
RadControl
Ajax
script
skins
Calendar
script
skins
Combobox
script
skins
And now I don't know how to use the same structure ( I mean the same folder ) with Q1 2008. Because I have changed colours and fonts in the css, and now i want to use my folder, but the solution it's a NIGHTMARE or i don't understand the solution.
Can you give a example about how to overwrite the skin ? I am pretty sure I am not the only one and the information isn't very clear.
Thank you very much .Pepito

Sop i copy the folder and I am trying to use this:
<appSettings>
<add key="Telerik.Skin" value="[SkinName]" /> <!-- Sets the skin for all RadControls -->
<add key="Telerik.[ShortProductName].Skin value="[SkinName]" />
<!-- Sets the skin for a specific control -->
</appSettings>
But isn't working. Can you use a tangible example ?
There are more pelople with the same error

Please find attached a project showing how to achieve this. I did the following in it:
- Modified the Office2007 skin of RadMenu and RadPanelbar - placed the skin files in the SkinTest folder.
- Set a global skin in the web.config:
| <appSettings> |
| <add key="Telerik.Skin" value="Office2007"/> |
| </appSettings> |
- Registered both(panelbar and menu) css files in the page's head tag:
| <head runat="server"> |
| <title>Untitled Page</title> |
| <link href="SkinTest/Menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> |
| <link href="SkinTest/Menu.Office2007.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> |
| <link href="SkinTest/PanelBar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> |
| <link href="SkinTest/PanelBar.Office2007.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> |
| </head> |
Hope it will be helpful.
If your scenario is different, could you please modify our test project with the your exact configuration so that we will be able to see the error at our side.

Hi Helen:
Thank you for your solution.
But this solution is a laborious solution. My suggestion for the next built if you could add some properties doing us the work easier, oterwise you are forcing to use telerik skins by default without changes and this isn't very usefull because everybody modifies the skins.
For example: I can only use verdana as a requisite of the project and i must modify all the components and I must change the structure in the folder of Radcontrol.

Hi
I have to agree with Pepito this is causing a lot of rework - could you not reinstate the RadSkinsFolder property that used to exist in the prior version, this can then be set within a .skin file for the whole application?
Many Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt Wills,
We might consider reinstate the "SkinsPath" property. However, I cannot promise that this will be done for the next release.
