[Solved] Theme and Skin

[Yi-Chien Chen]

Dear all,

I am working on an admin system with 12 themes. (Hay, , Web 2.0…and so on)

Each theme, I plan to use one corresponding telerik control skin. (Hay, , Web 2.0…and so on)  Also, backend user can select which theme he/she would like to use.

PS: I’m not using master page.

Could anyone suggest how to do it?

Hello Billy,

For this purpose you can use a combination of RadFormDecorator and RadSkinManager in its skin chooser mode. See this online demo for details:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/formdecorator/examples/formdecoratorandradcontrols/defaultcs.aspx (examine the RadFormDecorator usage and note the skin chooser at the top right corner of the page)

Thanks for the quick response. It's helpful.
How about the "theme"?

For example, when I select "BLACK" skin, I would like to change the whole page background color to black and banner set for BLACK theme as well. (I've designed the css for theme.)
I don't know how to control the theme and skin at the same time.

Please advise, Thanks.

Hi Yi-Chien Chen,

The Black skin of RadFormDecorator comes with predefined color for the background of the page as you can see at this demo page - http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/formdecorator/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx. Select the Black skin from the dropdown and you will see the page background change. However, you have to make sure that you have set the DecoratedControls property of RadFormDecorator to "All" and that you have not hardcoded a background color or image to the body in your own stylesheets.

Best wishes,
