[Solved] Globally changing skins II

[William Corry]

If one uses the default option for all of the control's skins is it possible to quickly change the look of the default setting for all of the controls in a website?  Viewing the forums I've seen the suggestion of changing the following line of the WebConfing file.

  <appSettings>
    <add key="Telerik.WebControls.Skin" value="WebBlue" />
  </appSettings>

I have placed the text shown above in the Web.config file and rebuilt the solution. When the webpages are opened the style of the Telerik controls is not WebBlue.  I'm using Q3 2008 Telerik controls.  Is there an alternative to going through all of the pages and manually setting all the skin property to WebBlue for each control?

Thanks,

[Sebastian]

Hello William,

The global skins registration for our RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX requires different web.config setting - the one you found should work with the ASP.NET counterparts of the products. Review the bottom section of this help topic for more details:

Thanks,
That worked once I figured out that the description for the individual controls couldn't contain the skin="Default" descriptor.  I had gotten into that state by trying to change all of the projects skins by replacing skin="WebBlue" with skin="Default"  -- that works buy you're stuck with the default style that isn't overridden by the :

 

 

 

<add key="Telerik.Skin" value="Hay" />

setting in the web.config file.  So what I had to do was to globally replace skin="Default" with nothing.  Now it works.
