I have been having difficulty getting my custom styles to apply to the Paragraph Styles dropdown in the RadEditor control within a Sitefinity website.
 

I have declared my H1, H2, H3, H4 styles in an external stylesheet in ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/radeditor.css.

I have also added those same H1, H2, H3, H4 styles to the ~/Sitefinity/Admin/Themes/Default/AjaxControlsSkins/Sitefinity/EditorCssFile.css file. 

In the ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/EditorToolsFile.xml, I have added the following:

  <cssFiles> 
   <item name="~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/radeditor.css" /> 
  </cssFiles> 
    
  <paragraphs>    
   <paragraph name="Normal" value="&lt;p>" />    
   <paragraph name="&lt;H1>Heading 1&lt;/H1>" value="&lt;H1>" />    
   <paragraph name="&lt;H2>Heading 2&lt;/H2>" value="&lt;H2>" />    
   <paragraph name="&lt;H3>Heading 3&lt;/H3>" value="&lt;H3>" />    
   <paragraph name="&lt;H4>Heading 4&lt;/H4>" value="&lt;H4>" />    
  </paragraphs>    
 

I even added the .reDropDownBody h1, .reDropDownBody h2, .reDropDownBody h3, and .reDropDownBody h4 styles to both the ~/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/radeditor.css and the ~/Sitefinity/Admin/Themes/Default/AjaxControlsSkins/Sitefinity/EditorCssFile.css files, as recommended in this thread

The styles are applied appropriately to the window of the editor, but not to the dropdown. (See attached images.) 

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help.

They should be there eh...it should be smart enough...FEATURE REQUEST TELERIK

The only way I've been able to get it to work is to hardcode the styles in...which is how I was told to do it in a ticket a while ago

You can see an example of how to "hack" it in here

Hacking the styles in-line works, but I thought that there would be a more elegant solution than that. 

  <paragraphs> 
   <paragraph name="Normal" value="&lt;p>" /> 
   <paragraph name="&lt;H1 style='font-size:22px; color:#2180ac; font-weight:bold;'>Heading 1&lt;/H1>" value="&lt;H1>" /> 
   <paragraph name="&lt;H2 style='font-size:18px; color:#06437a; font-weight:bold;'>Heading 2&lt;/H2>" value="&lt;H2>" /> 
   <paragraph name="&lt;H3 style='font-size:16px; color:#64a6c5; font-weight:bold;'>Heading 3&lt;/H3>" value="&lt;H3>" /> 
   <paragraph name="&lt;H4 style='font-size:14px; color:#666666; font-weight:bold;'>Heading 4&lt;/H4>" value="&lt;H4>" /> 
  </paragraphs> 

Thanks.
