SkinManager and standard CSS style sheets

[dhuss]

We have just started converting all of our asp:textbox to telerik:radTextBox. We created a standard css file (used for all aspx pages) so we could set the width's for different boxes based on usage. Example, a box for state only needs to be 2 characters wide (about 20-30px). The skin manager overrides the cssclass property setting for the telerik boxes, setting all boxes to the same width. How can I still use a custom style sheet to set width's and the skinmanager at the same time?

Hi dhuss,

What RadSkinManager does is to only set the Skin for each RadControl on the page. From then on, how the control will look depends on its own Skin and the settings you have applied.
I suggest that you check out the below articles for more information on how to customize Radinput appearance:
