Hello.
For the 2015 Q1 release we'll fix some of those styles. In the mean time you can use LightWeight rendermode of RadPanelBar.
When we remove the !important flags from the styles, I will write back in this thread, but do have in mind that it will be around the release of the Beta (late january / early february).
Regards,
Ivan Zhekov
