  • Visual Style Builder Survey

    Monday, July 28, 2008 by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Comments 3

    Once again, I am excited to announce the start of a new initiative to improve the user experience with skinning the Telerik controls. We are starting work on a new Visual Style Builder application for the ASP.NET AJAX Controls and a major upgrade of the existing application for the WinForms Controls. The Visual Style Builder will allow easy, point-and-click customization of component skins, eliminating the need to get acquainted with the front-end structure of the controls. The Visual Style Builder will also speed up development of skins across several components - you will be able to define a style once and...

  • Q2 Asp.Net skinning

    It’s that time of the year again and we’re getting ready for the next quarterly release here at telerik. This time we have a major visual update coming for the ASP.NET product line.

Wanted to get back to you even before the beta release next week with a sneak view of what’s coming so you can have your say. Here’s the major planned changes in skinning:

    1. Black skin preserves its general look only gets a bit less….well,...

  • How To Override Styles in a RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX' Embedded Skin

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008 by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Comments 19
    In the era of the "classic" RadControls for ASP.NET modifying a skin required opening

    ~ / RadControls / [ControlName] / Skins / [SkinName] / styles.css

    and making the necessary changes. The new RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (formerly known as "Prometheus") by default use skins, which are embedded in the assembly. This simplifies deployment but sacrifices customization. Or does it?

    Actually, making a change to an embedded skin of a RadControl for ASP.NET AJAX is quite easy, given that one keeps in mind a couple of notable things. Namely:

    (1) Since the embedded skin cannot be modified, the custom styles need to be placed elsewhere. For example ...

  • Title Attributes in CSS Link Tags Prevent Styles from Being Applied

    Thursday, May 15, 2008 by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Comments 7
    I have been aware for some time now that title attributes in CSS <link> tags trigger problems and prevent some CSS styles from being applied on the web page. Today I invested a couple of hours in finding out what actually happens and this is what we've got.

    If you have several <link> tags in the page <head> and one of them has a title attribute, then the <link> tags coming after it must either have a title attribute with the same value or no title attribute at all, otherwise the styles in the latter CSS files the will not be applied on the...
