.skin File in custom theme

Hi all,

I would like to use a .skin file in my sitefinity theme but it doesnt appear to be working, my file structure is

App_Data/Sitefinity/WebsiteTemplates/CustomTemplate/App_Themes/CustomTheme/Theme.skin

My css files are loading correctly so the theme is registered but any info in the .skin file isnt being picked up?

Cheers
Anthony

Hi Anthony,

There is a bug related to the .skin files. Try adding the css in your theme or us Css Widget to load the css on your template.

Hi Ivan,

but what if i want to do more complex operations than just change the css, like dynamically change the Skin property of a tabstrip as below per theme

<telerik:RadTabStrip ID="tabCategory" runat="server" Skin="Vista"></telerik:RadTabStrip>

When is this issue likely to be resolved?

If i use the standard asp.net App_Themes folder does the skin file load?

Cheers
Anthony

Hello Anthony,

There shouldn't be an issue if you use embedded skins. If the custom css is loaded on a page and you set the skin property of the control, it should be styled properly.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the reply, i think we misunderstood each other at the beginning, it appears that my .skin file isnt loading at all, nothing to do with the css just the .skin,

For example if i have on my page

<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblTitle" Text="Hello World" SkinID="Hello"/>

Then in my .skin file below (located in my theme folder) i have

<asp:Label runat="server" Text="Hello Skin" SkinID="Hello" />

The above is not fired even when the theme is activated indicating to me that the .skin file isnt doing anything
