| 10 | +## Environment |
| 11 | +| Product | Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX | |
| 12 | +|-----------------|-------------------------------| |
| 13 | +| Version | all | |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Description |
| 16 | +I upgraded Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, but the Forest theme is no longer working. It was working fine in previous versions. I would like to know if it has been replaced or how to fix this issue. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Solution |
| 19 | +The Forest skin in Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX is discontinued and is no longer available. It was announced as obsolete in the blog post [6 Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Skins Going Obsolete](https://www.telerik.com/blogs/6-telerik-asp.net-ajax-skins-going-obsolete). |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +To resolve this issue, there are two approaches: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Option 1: Create a Custom Theme |
| 24 | +1. Use the [ThemeBuilder app](https://themebuilder.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax) to create your own custom theme. |
| 25 | +2. Follow the instructions [here](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/themebuilder/how-to/create-custom-theme) to create a custom theme with the ThemeBuilder. |
| 26 | +3. Download the custom theme and apply it to your page with the Telerik controls. Instructions can be found [here](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/themebuilder/how-to/download-apply-theme). Note that the ThemeBuilder produces skins for the Lightweight rendering, so make sure to set the RenderMode properties of the Telerik controls to Lightweight. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Option 2: Choose an Available Theme |
| 29 | +1. Choose one of the available 21 themes instead of the Forest theme. |
| 30 | +2. Set the Skin properties of the Telerik controls to the chosen theme. For example, you can set it to "Default" which is also gray colored. |
| 31 | +3. Test your page again with the new theme. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Note: The ThemeBuilder app is only available for the Lightweight rendering mode. |
