I'm just starting with custom skins and I"m having a little problem. I've created a custom skin using the Visual Style Builder (nice BTW). I'm drug my new skin to the App_Themes directory and added a Menu control to my master page and a Calendar control to my content page set. Set EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" and set Skin="myskin". Compiled and opened up in IE and nothing..... From everything I read I shouldn't have to register the css files since everything is in the App_Themes directory. I played around a little and got the new skin to work by adding
<link href="App_Themes/myskin/Menu.myskin.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="App_Themes/myskin/Calendar.myskin.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
to my master page and everything worked. I didn't think I would need to do that for each RadControl I'd be using. That could get cumbersome. What am I doing wrong? What is the best practice for using custome skins? From the documentation I thought I was doing things the right way but that doesn't appear to work unless I register the css for each control.
Thanks
Mike

Hello Michael,
From what you are saying, I conclude that you have not set the Theme property in the Page directive
<%@ Page Language="C#" Theme="..." %>
