    I've just started using Visual Studio 2008, and really like it.  Following an example in a book, I'm trying to apply a pre-defined theme, called SmokeAndGlass, to a page.  I do not want to create my own themes.

    My question is this:

    Where can I find the pre-defined themes that come with Visual Studio 2008?

    Thanks in advance.

    %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\VX.X.XXXX\
    ASP.NETClientFiles\Themes\
    Global themes should be in the above directory  but  in the release version of framework 2.0 , I think they stopped packaging the default theme

    Jeev,

    Thanks for replying.  I did as you suggested, and looked there, but there is no Themes folder there, in either framework version.

    I also checked my VS 2005 development machine, but nothing there either. 

    And I've been unable to find a site where I can download them.

    It seems to me this must be a common need.  Where is everybody obtaining them, I wonder?

    Thanks.

     Its been dropped in the final release. Try doing a search to see if its available as a download. I haven't found one so far though

    Jeev,

    I've searched quite a bit today.  Very strange, but can't seem to find a download.  I'll keep looking.

    Thanks very much for your reply.
