# Themes

RadGridView is built on top of the Telerik Presentation Framework and enables easy styling without writing any code. It ships with a set of predefined themes that you can easily use in your application as demonstrated [here](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/styling-and-appearance/using-default-themes).

The built-in themes are:
