A workaround is to take the header border color and set it to all rows - Default skin .RadGrid_Default .rgRow > td, .RadGrid_Default .rgAltRow > td { border-left-color: rgb(130, 130, 130); } - BlackMetroTouch skin .RadGrid_BlackMetroTouch .rgRow > td, .RadGrid_BlackMetroTouch .rgAltRow > td { border-left-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); } .RadGrid_BlackMetroTouch .rgRow > td, .RadGrid_BlackMetroTouch .rgAltRow > td { border-bottom-width: 0px; /*remove extra space between rows that becomes visible when you put on borders for alt rows*/ } - WebBlue skin .RadGrid_WebBlue .rgRow > td, .RadGrid_WebBlue .rgAltRow > td { border-left-color: rgb(69, 95, 119); }
