# Styles

All four types of **RadInput** controls come with a set of predefined styles, which are specified by the styles in the current [skin](https://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/documentation/controls/textbox/appearance-and-styling/skins). If you have assigned a value to the **Skin** property, you can use a variety of style properties to customize the way the input control changes its appearance depending on its state.

The following table lists the various style properties:

| Property          | Default CSS class | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ----------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| EnabledStyle      | riEnabled         | The style for the enabled input control. **Note**: The definitions from the **EnabledStyle** property are inherited from one style property to another in a hierarchy. Therefore, the appearance settings specified by the **EnableStyle** property will be propagated for the rest of the styles. For example, if you specify a red font for the **EnabledStyle** property, all other style properties in **RadInput** (other than **DisabledStyle** ) will also have a red font. |
| DisabledStyle     | riDisabled        | The style that is applied for the disabled input control. **Note**: Internet Explorer does not allow changing the ForeColor of disabled elements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

| FocusedStyle      | riFocused         | The style when the input control has focus.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

The various Style properties are of type Telerik.Web.UI.InputStyle. This type has the following sub-properties:

* BackColor

* BorderColor

* BorderWidth

* CssClass

* Font

* ForeColor

* Height

* HorizontalAlign

* LetterSpacing

* PaddingBottom

* PaddingLeft

* PaddingRight

* PaddingTop

* Width

Each sub-property is an attribute of the HTML element for the rendered input control. Setting any of the sub-properties copies the value you set onto the style to the HTML element, overwriting any existing style elements defined by the used skin.
