It's been a while since I had the pleasure of highlighting an "official" Telerik survey on this blog, but that time has finally come again. This time, we want to know how you use the Telerik-provided component skins, which ones you like (or dislike) the most, and what type of skin you think we should make next. Providing high-quality, relevant skins with our UI components is obviously a key priority for us- and hopefully very helpful for you- so we want to make sure we're addressing all of your needs. There are currently 11 common skins for the ASP.NET controls (meaning the skin can be applied to all ASP.NET controls) and 6 for WinForms. All new skins we develop these days are "common," so as we move in to the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX era, you should no longer see skins that are only developed for a single component.
The survey is relatively short, but there are two versions- one for WinForms, one for ASP.NET. If you're a developer on both platforms be sure to take the survey twice. It's only two pages long, so at most this survey should take you 5 to 10 minutes. In exchange for your feedback and your time, we'll deposit 500 Telerik Points in your Client.net account.
Take the skin survey now

I was just thinking about this, and since I already took the survey I'm going to post it there. What I think would be needed is a basic skin. Something that has the absolute minimum to get something working. No fancy padding, margins etc. For a while I thought it was the Default, but after fighting with the RadMenu's Default skin I think an even more basic one is needed. For me it's a lot easier to build up than tear something apart until it does something I want - my 2c.
Great point! That's very good feedback and I'll make sure Telerik's designers see it. Thanks for the input.

agree with the first post. simple and clean works best. how about a skin that is nothing but CSS? no graphics. simple like the ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 default site. how about a starter kit that mimics the MVC default site using Telerik controls?
@Anon- Another good point! I've forwarded your suggestion along with the first to our UX Team.

I'd like to see you modernize and expand your available skins for RadMenu. Give people more out of the box options for look and feel. I also agree with the clean comment for people wanting a clean slate. Hey, I designs skins, maybe you should hire me ;)
