I downloaded the latest Q2 release of the RadControls for Asp.Net. Very frustrating to find all my skins have changed. I don't know if this is a bug or a very bad judgement call, but when people migrate to a new version I think you have certain expectations, and changing the appearance of existing skins is not one of them. My Office2007 theme tabs now have blue text instead of black. My Outlook calendar no longer has bolding for the days of the week and the spacing is completely different between rows. I'm thinking this has to be a bug, but it's forced me to reinstall the previous version. I hope you guys can look into this and warn people if you make these kind of changes. I don't like people changing the look of my app without asking me :).

Hi Levi,
We are sorry about the frustration caused by the changes in the skins. With each release, we urge to improve the look of the skins, to make them slicker - sometimes this includes changing a background two in order to stick to the initial design.
If you need older versions of the skin, please provide us with details about the version and we will do our best to dig it out of our archives and supply it (therefore, enabling you to use newer versions of the controls).
Best wishes,
Alex
