# Skins

To make customizing the appearance of **RadRibbonBar** as easy as possible, the control uses **predefined skins.** A skin is a set of images and a CSS stylesheets that can be applied to the elements (items, images, etc.) of the control and thus define their look and feel. To apply a skin to the ribbonbar, set its **Skin** property, either using the properties pane or the **RadRibbonBar** [ Smart Tag ](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/ribbonbar/design-time).

The control comes with a number of built-in skins:

> 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.
