I use the following setting in my web.config file to set the skin for all Telerik controls on the site:
<add key="Telerik.Skin" value="Office2007"/>
This is not working for all Chart controls for the site.
Is there another setting I could use for all Chart controls? I cannot find this setting within the Chart documentation.

Hi JonB,
Indeed, this mechanism will not work for RadChart due to a simple reason. RadChart is an image and the colors of its elements are defined in the server-side code before rendering this image. The image, when ready, is sent to the client and it is not then possible to change certain colors in it using CSS, as it is done for the rest of the controls in the suite.
Still, there is a solution -- you can use the ASP.NET 2.0 Themes mechanism to set the Skin property of RadChart. You can find more details in this MSDN article as well as in this CodeProject article.

Please notice that the setting described in the orignal request is a server-side setting in web.config.
The RadChart control creates images based upon the Skin property of the control.
How can the Skin property of the RadChart controls in a web application be changed without having to type it in for each and every RadChart control?

Hello JonB,
You can find attached a small example demonstrating the ASP.NET Theming mechanism, mentioned in my previous message. There are two pages with one RadChart in each of them with no Skin setting. Still, you will find that the charts appear with Inox skin as per the setting in MySkin.skin file.
