Tooltip skin issue

[jfs67]

I "love" the tooltip at the tooltip demo url:
http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/ToolTip/Examples/ShowEvent/DefaultCS.aspx#

When you hover above the help button the white, slightly transparent tooltip is exactly what we need.  The tooltip is inside of a datalist (we are currently using a module.css file)

<asp:DataList ID="RssDataList" runat="server" CssClass="Normal" DataSourceID="RezHubRssDataSource1">
 <ItemTemplate>
        <div class="rss_item" style="width:<%=RssWidth%>;">

            <a href="javascript:;" id="RssNews" runat="server">
            <span style="color:<%=RssColor%>"><%#XPath("title")%></span></a>

                <telerik:RadToolTip Position="TopCenter" RelativeTo="Element" ID="RadToolTip1" EnableViewState="false"
                    ShowEvent="OnClick" ManualClose="true" runat="server" CssClass="rh_tooltip">
                   <div id="rh_deal" class="rh_tip" style="width:<%=RssWidth%>;" runat="server">
                        <%#XPath("description")%>
                            <div class="readmore_link"><a id="ReadMore" href='<%#XPath("link")%>' runat="server">Read more...</a></div>
                   </div>
                </telerik:RadToolTip>
        </div>
 </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

In the item databound event of the datalist, the following code wires up the tooltip item for item

Dim titleLink As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlAnchor = CType(e.Item.FindControl("RssNews"), HtmlAnchor)
            If Not (titleLink Is Nothing) Then
                Dim radToolTip As Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTip = CType(e.Item.FindControl("RadToolTip1"), Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTip)
                If Not (radToolTip Is Nothing) Then
                    radToolTip.TargetControlID = titleLink.ClientID
                    radToolTip.IsClientID = True
                End If
            End If

We drastically need something different that the "default skin". Would anyone per chance enlighten me one more time how to do this?

Hi jfs67,

The RadToolTip you mention actually uses the Default skin. So I am not sure I completely understand your question - whether you want to modify the Default skin or not. Here you can find instructions on how to modify an existing skin. Please, provide more information on your particular appearance problem so we can provide more accurate assistance.

All the best,
