Themes and Skins

With CSS being so prevalent, how common is the use of the asp.net Skins and
Themes? I'm examining my methodology for setting up sites for some folks,
and the idea of having using Themes seems compelling. However, I'm seeing
alot of emphasis on using CSS markup.

Are folks still actively using themes?

Thanks for any input.

Hello Tim,

Themes is standard asp.net feature and I see no reasons why you shouldn't
use them.
see that description http://www.15seconds.com/issue/040105.htm

the 2 are not mutually exclusive - I tend to use asp.net themes that are
100% css ie. they contain no .skin files.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some advice / guidelines on using Themes with an application I am working on. The application needs to allow people to customize the appearance utilizing what I would consider to be a Themeing and Skinning mechanism.

We're replacing a CLASSIC ASP application. In this application, we presented a dialogue box that allowed end users to specify exactly how they wanted their screen to look. So, they could set the font size, font colour, border widths/style/colour etc, etc. This information was then held in a database. When the ASP page was loaded, it used an INCLUDE function to include a file "application.css.asp". This was effectively an ASP page...

Hi. I am having trouble grasping the concept of applying a consistent theme to an ASP.net website. I didn't used to like ASP because it was too hard to apply a theme from a common theme folder like I could do easily in PHP, but now I see that it has some nicer theming features and master files. So I want to use web.config to switch which theme I'm using, and I want to be able to have several themes. My understanding of themes is that I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
