kendoui/mvc skins for ASP.NET AJAX or any flat modern skins

Please please please make the Material/Uniform/Bootstrap skins you've made for KendoUI/MVC for ASP.NET AJAX. These skins are so much more modern and clean than the ones available for ASP.NET, which look like they were designed 10 years ago.

The Metro and MetroTouch skins were a step forward for the ASP.NET AJAX library but the Metro is really small and the MetroTouch is really big. Somehow ASP.NET AJAX got the bad Metro skins and the Metro skin for KendoUI/MVC is the perfect size and beautiful. It doesn't need a "Touch" version because the one skin fits both bills.

Just compare the looks of the buttons between the ASP.NET AJAX Metro version and the KendoUI/MVC Metro version:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/button/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx?skin=MetroTouch

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/button/index

Just like your own website is now flat and clean with nice buttons.

Please provide some new modern skins for ASP.NET AJAX as these controls are looking more outdated than ever, which bothers me because you continue to innovate on their functionality.

Make them look as great as they function!

Thanks.

Hi Folks,

You should be also aware that you can easily control the dimensions of the controls via the font of the page or their wrapping element.

Please check out how in the following help article: Fonts.

This mechanism is applicable to the lightweight render mode only.

Another important improvement is the Theme Builder swatches you may want to try:

Hi Curtis,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I have good news that you will be able to test very soon in the Q1'15 Beta (to be out in the beginning of next month) the new Bootstrap skin. It will appear officially in the Q1 2015 release scheduled for the end of February.

As to the Material skin, it is already planned in our ToDo list and will appear in Q2 or Q3 later this year.

As to the controls dimensions, we are working hard on providing elastic capabilities to all controls in the suite. You can see the current stage at http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/responsive-adaptive-elastic-capabilities.html 
In Q1 we will provide elastic capabilities in RadInput and RadTicker.

Best regards,
Rumen
