Skins
To make customizing the appearance of RadComboBox as easy as possible, the control uses skins. A skin is a set of images and a CSS stylesheet that can be applied to RadComboBox elements (items, images, etc.) and defines their look and feel. To apply a skin to RadComboBox, set its Skin property, either using the properties pane or the RadComboBox Smart Tag .
The control comes with a number of built-in skins:
The Material skin is available for the Lightweight RenderMode only. If you experience visual issues with it, make sure your controls are not using the default Classic mode.
Customizing Skins
You can tweak the existing skins, or create your own. Each skin has two main elements: images and a stylesheet. When creating your own, it is a good idea to start with the stylesheet of an existing skin and alter that. See the Tutorial: Creating a Custom Skin topic for a step-by-step walk through. To use your own skin
Add the new CSS file to your project.
Drag and drop the CSS file from the Project Explorer onto your Web page.
Set the EnableEmbeddedSkins property of RadComboBox to False.
The stylesheet for a RadComboBox skin has the name ComboBox.[SkinName].css and can be found in the ...Skins/[SkinName] directory. The images are found in the ...Skins/[SkinName]/ComboBox directory. For example, the stylesheet for the "Black" skin is called ComboBox.Black.css and is located in the ...Skins/Black directory.The images are found in the ...Skins/Black/ComboBox directory. The images are referenced by name from within the stylesheet.
For more information on the CSS File structure, see the Understanding the Skin CSS File topic.
The stylesheet for the "Black" skin is as follows:
