Is there an updated version of RAD skin files for asp.net themes

[Darrel]

Are there any updated asp.net skin files available for each of the RAD controls. I want to be able to use asp.net themes.      There is a link here for this sort of thing http://www.telerik.com/support/product-skins-downloads.aspx, but the downloads do not seem to be up to date.


As an example for the calendar I would need a skin file that has the following in it:

<

telerik:RadCalendar Runat="server"
EnableEmbeddedSkins="False"
Skin="Default"
NavigationNextImage="Calendar\arrowRight.gif"
FastNavigationNextImage="Calendar\fastNavRight.gif" NavigationPrevImage="Calendar\arrowLeft.gif"
FastNavigationPrevImage="Calendar\fastNavLeft.gif" >
</telerik:RadCalendar>


I could do something similar for each of the Rad controls, but it would be repetitive.  Is there any place I can get these skin files from? It would be usefull if these came with the RAD download.

Hello Darrel,

If you would like to assign a skin globally for each RadControl in your application, consider adding an entry to the appSettings section of your web.config file as depicted at the bottom section of this documentation article:

Alternatively, take advantage of the ASP.NET 2.x Theme mechanism to specify global application style settings for RadControls.

      I am using the asp.net theme mechanism.   In order for the theme mechanism to work however, we need to create an asp.net ".skin" file in order to tell the Rad controls where to find the images.   The themes work great for css otherwise,   but there is a lot of tedious work that needs to be done to set it up for images.  The HTML I have in my first post shows what I needed to create in the .skin file in order for the Radcalendar to find the images.

Hi Darrel,

If I understand you correctly, you need .skin files for your custom scenario. I am afraid we do not have such customized files uploaded on telerik.com, because there is no way to meet all the specific requirements of each developer. The .skin files provided in the .zip archives are just simple examples.

Please, try to create those .skin files, according to your needs and let us know if you need anything.

Best wishes,

What I am doing is not that specific. It is required steps that anyone who uses asp.net 2.0 themes will need to follow. If the steps are not done inside of a .skin file, they need to be done everytime that the control is used.   To create that skin file, I was following the steps in this tutorial http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/calendar/themes2.html, only instead of making the changes to the aspx, I made them inside of the .skin file.      As a suggestion, if you have the .skin files premade, it would reduce the needed steps for using themes even more.

I was just checking to see if you guys had skins files pre set up,to see if I could give myself a short cut.  Other then that I appreciate how you have all those css files and images set up for easy skinning, and that tutorial was great. Thank you for the great work put into this product and the documentation.
