Dear Telerik team
We upgraded to a Q1 2009 version of the Telerik controls to avail ourselves of some fixes and new features but we were using the Telerik default skin as it blended in quite well with our application.
Unfortunately the new version of Telerik skin doesn't blend at all well in a lot of places and we have just been through the process of isolating the various components where we want to use a custom skin. Our final preferred look is going to be partly Telerik, partly custom skin). We have fixed the rad panel bar so our menu looks largely like it did and that was pretty painful but now there is the grouped reports.
Attached is a comparison of the view of a grouped grid template after the new skin version applied and prior to the new applied. I am hoping you can point me to how to swap this back. I assume there is more than the grouping section of the grid.css going on as swapping these classes out doesn't do anything. Replacing the grouping styles in the grid.CSS with the old styles alters the style but not to what it was. Do you know why this may be happening?
I am not sure if you are planning in future to make changes to standard skins without renaming them something new but please let us know if this is likely; as we'll import the entire skin to the solution and customise it now as it has been hours and hours of work to sort out issues with this version change so we definitely don't want to do this again.
