Hi everybody.
I'm a little confused here with the process to create a custom skin for the RadControls.

I got a RadMenu, RadPanelBar and RadDecorator custom skins.
I followed the instructions explained here: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/community-forums/design/telerik-skinning-tutorial.aspx
Basically says that you take one existing skin, customize the images and the corresponding css file and that's all.
Well, this works great.

BUT I got a problem. This skins and controls are from the Rad Controls for Asp.Net Ajax Q3 2008.
I have to upgrade and use Rad Controls for Asp.Net Ajax 2009.
And the skins now are broken, they are not being rendered correctly and now they look ugly  and the reason is that the WebResources.css file that is created behind the scenes is affecting the current skin styles.

So , what is the point of creating custom skins that will work only for one version of the Telerik Controls?
Is there a way to avoid this problem?
What is exactly WebResources.css?

Thank you

Hi Sergio,

We are willing to port any custom skins that were broken (as promised) - just send them through a support ticket.

We introduced a lot of breaking changes with the Q1.2009 release for reasons, introduced in the following blog post.

The WebResource.axd contains the embedded base stylesheet, which contains options that are common for all embedded skins.

All the best,
Alex
