    I have the newest toolkit installed(1.0.10618.0). Intellisense brings up SkinID in the tabcontainer declaration, but I cannot seem to get it working.

    I looked over the CollapsiblePanel demo in the sample website and tried to implement in a similar way. I was able to change the forecolor of the text in the tabcontainer declaration. I then tried placing forecolor in the .skin file. Which didn't cause any change. The tabcontainer visual properties remained similar to standard(as if I didn't apply any changes at all).

     I know that you change the properties using a .css sheet, but I would like to use a .skin file instead. Is this supported currently? If so, can you show me how to implement this. Or, will this a feature that will be on a future release?

    Thanks,

     ren

    Skinning will only let you change properties that can be changed on the relevant element in the first place. Said a different way, if you are already setting Tab properties to change the background as you want, then you should be able to move those settings into a .skin file - but you won't magically be able to control more settings just because they're in a .skin file. Hope this makes sense!
