Templates Structure
To learn how to style Telerik UI controls, you can read the common topics about Setting a Theme (Using Implicit Styles)
Using Implicit Styles gives you the ability to easily extract and edit the default ControlTemplates of the controls. You can follow this article for two different approaches about how to extract the ControlTemplates.
Like most controls, RadGridView also allows you to template it in order to change the control from the inside. Except for templating the whole control, you can template parts of it or even independent controls related to it. This help article will make you familiar with the:
