# Styles

The [ASP NET AJAX Calendar](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/calendar.aspx) control comes with a set of predefined styles, which are specified by the styles in the current skin CSS classes. If the [Skin](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/calendar/appearance-and-styling/skins) property is not set to an empty string, you can use a variety of style properties to further customize the appearance of the control.

Setting these properties will copy any non-blank elements of the specified style to the specific element of the rendered control, overwriting any existing style elements defined by the used skin.

> caution
> Setting a style property does not always affect the appearance of a control, if the skin has a setting that applies to a more specific element.

> note
> In addition to the style properties listed above, if the calendar has any [special days](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/calendar/design-time/radcalendarday-collection-editor) defined, you can set their **ItemStyle** property to customize the appearance of the special day.

> note
> Since the Q1 2013 SP1 version of **RadCalendar** the hovered style (**.rcHover**) is appended to the selected style. Thus both styles will be applied when hovering over an element.
