Hello Raj,
You can use the RadSkinManager control which serves this purpose exactly. You just need to declare it in the master page and set ShowChooser="true".
Also, remove the Skin property assignments from all controls that you want to be skinned by the manager.

Hello Raj,
As long as you have a top level page, like a master that is used all over your site, you do not need and should not put the manager on other pages. It takes care of all child pages/user controls from the place where it is declared.

Hi Raj,
I cannot see what is wrong in your code, I tried setting Skin on Page_Load for RadSkinManager (with the same declaration as yours) and it works on my side. If you are still experiancing this problem, could you open a support ticket and send a sample runnable page that replicates the issue?

Hello Raj,
There are known issues in IE8 when the legen of a fieldset is not shown. You could search them and see which one best fits your scenario. Some would be:
