No background colour when changing skin

[Andrew M]

I'm using RadSkinManager in the format below to allow the user to change the site skin.

<

telerik:RadSkinManager ID="RadSkinManager1" runat="server" PersistenceMode="Cookie" PersistenceKey="myOnlineSkin"></telerik:RadSkinManager>

I can change the skin on all controls apart from the background colour of the RadTreeView control. The 'Black' skin stands out since the background should be back but i get my website background colour. I'm using release Q1 2009.

I'd be grateful for your comments.

Kind regards
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Actually Black skin doesn't set background color of the treeview, that's why it's not set with the skin chooser.

If the 'Black' skin doesn't set the background colour of the RadTreeView, then I'm assuming that in this example
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/treeview/examples/programming/xmlfile/defaultcs.aspx
when you pick Black from the drop down menu, you are setting the page background manually?

If so, where and how is the best way of setting the background colour for the RadTreeView control?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I suggest you subscribe to OnSkinChanged event of the skin manager and set the BackColor of the treeview to "Black" if the selected skin is Black. Please find attached a simple page demonstrating this approach.
