Skins not working on new Telerik

[Pako]

Hi,

I've just updated my telerik controls from 2008 Q2 to newest version available. The only problem I've encountered is, that skins stopped working.

I know, that you've made some changes in how skins work, so I was prepared that I may have some more work to, but the thing is, skins are not working completely.

What I mean is, I've set EnableEmbeddedSkins to false and Skin to my skin name:

1.<telerik:RadGrid runat="server" ID="OrderedLists" ShowHeader="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
2.           Skin="PlainGrid" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" Width="761px">

and in result, I have div with class RadGrid_PlainGrid, which is as expected, but none of elements inside div have "_PlainGrid" class set, so I'm confused, how it's supposed to be working. I would expect, that all other items (e.g. row or altRow) would have classes like "Row_PlainGrid" or "rgRow_PlainGrid" or something like that.

Could you help me and point me, what's not right here? I can of course use rgRow classes, but this will modify all grids on my page, and that's definitely not what I would like to achieve.

Regards,

Pako

Hello Pako,

Since 2008, our controls have changed in terms of HTML output, CSS classes' names and features, so that I recommend you to create your custom skins again. This will be easier, compared to trying to convert / migrate your custom skin to be compatible with the new RadControls version.

If you have only one custom skin for RadGrid, you can try converting it by renaming CSS classes, according to the two CSS class lists here:
