I hate ClearType.

How can I disable ClearType on ALL controls and themes in this Telerik control suite?

I have ClearType disabled on my system for a reason.

Thank you.

Hi Brian,

Currently there are some elements that receive their TextRenderingHint through a theme and thus overridding the system setting. We will try to address this issue (in Q2 2009 Service Pack 1) and our themes will not force explicit rendering hint but rather use the current System settings.

I would like to thank you for pointing this out. I have updated your Telerik points.

Ok. So, how do I programatically TURN OFF ClearType in the Theme?

I don't want ClearType used in my application.

Hi Brian,

You may use the Visual Style Builder to modify the current themes or create new ones. The property that controls ClearTyle is VisualElement.TextRenderingHint.

You may also specify explicit LocalValue that will override the setting that comes from the Theme. Something like:

foreach (RadElement element in this.radButton1.RootElement.ChildrenHierarchy)  
{  
    VisualElement visual = element as VisualElement;  
    if (visual != null)  
    {  
        visual.TextRenderingHint = System.Drawing.Text.TextRenderingHint.SystemDefault;  
    }
