Please refer to the provided sample gif file. You will notice that when you are dragging within the same RadGridView control, there is a horizontal line indicating the drop position. The image is controlled by the RadGridView.TableElement.RowDragHint property which specifies the horizontal line illustrating the drop position.

This horizontal line is missing when you drop over another target grid control.

I have a custom Fluent theme as a package, it would be nice if there was a way to load packages (Embedded Resource or files) with the RadThemeManager.

Rather than typing this: Telerik.WinControls.ThemeResolutionService.LoadPackageResource("GUI.Themes.Fluent_Custom.tssp");

Right now the RadThemeManager only supports XML files. Feeding it a tssp file doesn't work.

For it to show up in design-time I have to assign it all of the unpackaged XML files and then delete the RadThemeManager for the theme to show up, otherwise the load time is like 7 seconds, where as embedded packages load super fast.

The fluent theme has a lot of XML files and this is a huge pain, supporting 1 Embedded Resource tssp package would be nice.

Would also be nice if the RadThemeManager could apply/change a theme globally somewhere in the SmartTag menu or RadThemeManager properties.

Instead of having to type this: ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Fluent_Custom";

How to reproduce: check the attached video
Workaround: select a color from a different tab or use the color picker

Workaround: manually increase the font of the controls

protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnShown(e);

    var dpi = NativeMethods.GetSystemDpi();

    this.Font = new Font(this.Font.Name, this.Font.Size * dpi.X / 96, this.Font.Style);
    this.radMenu1.Font = new Font(this.radMenu1.Font.Name, this.radMenu1.Font.Size * dpi.X / 96, this.radMenu1.Font.Style);
    this.radCommandBar1.Font = new Font(this.radCommandBar1.Font.Name, this.radCommandBar1.Font.Size * dpi.X / 96, this.radCommandBar1.Font.Style);
}

Implement functionality to rotate the text in a cell.

To reproduce: add a RadLabel and change its cursor to Hand.

 this.radLabel1.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;

The PixelatedHandCursor.png shows the poor quality of the cursor which should be improved.

Workaround: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6016995/un-antialiased-hand-cursor-in-windows-forms-apps/6017174#6017174

    public class LinkLabelEx : RadLabel
    {
        private const int WM_SETCURSOR = 0x0020;
        private const int IDC_HAND = 32649;

        [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)]
        private static extern IntPtr LoadCursor(IntPtr hInstance, int lpCursorName);

        [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
        private static extern IntPtr SetCursor(IntPtr hCursor);

        protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
        {
            if (m.Msg == WM_SETCURSOR)
            {
                // Set the cursor to use the system hand cursor
                SetCursor(LoadCursor(IntPtr.Zero, IDC_HAND));

                // Indicate that the message has been handled
                m.Result = IntPtr.Zero;
                return;
            }

            base.WndProc(ref m);
        }
    }

The ImprovedCursorRendering.png  shows the improved cursor. 

The performance of the DayView when the control is bound to a large number of recurring appointments and it is grouped by resources needs to be improved.

Documentation about High-DPI mechanisms available on the website is very outdated and mostly does not consider the changes and improvements that Microsoft made with .net 7.0 and 8.0.

What's needed is thorough documentation about Telerik's behavior in comparison with the different situations on .net Framework 4.9 and the major .net Versions 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0.

Kind regards

How to reproduce: enabled High DPI scaling and create a form as an MDI child with a RadDataEntry control in it
Workaround:  handle the Shown event of the MDI child and manually perform the scaling
private void radButtonElement1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var view = new RadForm1
            {
                MdiParent = this
            };
            
            view.Shown += View_Shown;
            view.Show();
        }

        private void ScaleRadControls(Control c)
        {
            foreach (var item in c.Controls)
            {
                Control control = item as Control;
                if (control == null)
                {
                    continue;
                }

                this.mi.Invoke(control, new object[] { this.FormElement.DpiScaleFactor, BoundsSpecified.All });
                ScaleRadControls(control);
            }
        }

        MethodInfo mi;
        private void View_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.mi = typeof(Control).GetMethod("ScaleControl", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic, null, new Type[] { typeof(SizeF), typeof(BoundsSpecified) }, null);
            RadForm1 v = sender as RadForm1;
            if (v != null)
            {
                ScaleRadControls(v.radDataEntry1.PanelContainer);
            }
        }

In this case, we have an MS standard Form with control position on the form. Each of the controls has the right anchor. Moving the form to a monitor with a higher resolution messed up the size of the controls. 

1. Set HDPI on your monitor (for example 150%)

2. Set RadDataEntry data source in RunTime

You will see that RadDataEntry hosted controls are not scaled correctly.

Note that there is a related problem if the data source is set in design time. Controls themselves will be scaled correctly, however, text box hosted control's High will not be scaled correctly.

Workaround:
You can subscribe to ItemInitializing event before you set the DataSource and proceed by scaling RadDataEntry hosted controls manually as shown in the following code snipped.

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radDataEntry1.ItemInitializing += RadDataEntry1_ItemInitializing;
    this.radDataEntry1.ItemDefaultSize = new Size(200, 26);

    radDataEntry1.DataSource = new Employee
    {
        FirstName = "Sarah",
        LastName = "Blake",
        Occupation = "Supplied Manager",
        StartingDate = new DateTime(2005, 04, 12),
        IsMarried = true,
        Salary = 3500,
        Gender = Gender.Female
    };         
}

private void RadDataEntry1_ItemInitializing(object sender, ItemInitializingEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radDataEntry1.RootElement.DpiScaleFactor.Width != 1)
    {
        foreach (Control control in e.Panel.Controls)
        {
            control.Scale(this.radDataEntry1.RootElement.DpiScaleFactor);
        }
    }
}
