# Skins

**RadMap** uses **skins** to control its overall look-and-feel. A skin is a set of images and a CSS stylesheet that can be applied to the control elements (items, images, etc.) and defines their appearance.

To apply a skin to a **RadMap** control, set its **Skin** property.

**RadMap** is installed with a number of preset skins. These are shown below:

> note The **Material** skin is available for the [Lightweight RenderMode](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/render-modes) only. If you experience visual issues with it, make sure your controls are not using the default Classic mode.
