Applying Themes And Skins .net 2.0 To DropDown (Driving me Crazy. Please Help

Hi All,
First of all, following are the facts
1) I've been trying to solve the following issue for the past 8 hours
(Not Kidding)
2) If I can't find the answer, It will drive me completely crazy

Platform:
XP Pro, .net 2.0 FrameWork, Visual Studio 2005

Problem Regarding:
Theme and skins in ASP.net 2.0

Achieved:
Was successfully able to apply skin and theme (With BACKGROUND Images)
to TEXT BOX, BUTTON, Calendar, Grid etc

Question:
I am trying to apply a theme with background image (defined in a css)
to a DropDownList and listbox but for some reason it will not show any
background image skin/theme when it rendered in the browser. However, I
can change background color, font color and such

Concern 1:
Is this a bug???????????? ??/

Concern 2:
If not a bug, then why the hell would Microsoft allow themes to be put
on all controls to change the look and feel but NOT dropdownlist and
listboxes
Thanks a million for whoever replies to this message
Thanks

Good question, to which extent are themes supported when mapped to a
control.

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. What is critical is that this should be as flexible as possible. What I would like to do is use the built-in Themeing mechanism to allow the customization, but as we know, the App_Theme folder...

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...

Problems like this with...

According to the MSDN docs, we cannot programatically create our own themes or skins: "Page and control developers do not use the ControlSkinDelegate, ControlSkin, or PageTheme classes directly. These classes are used by the ASP.NET parser and runtime ... " (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.pagetheme.aspx).

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. Tim
