I have read a bit about these two subjects, including a great post by 2 IG employees about the wonders of ASP.NET 2.0 themes and the IG KB article on How to use themes and skins to style NetAdvantage ASP.NET controls, but I still don't get something.

It seems that Application Styling only affects IG controls, but I would imagine most sites use HTML, MS ASP.NET, and IG controls (well, at least my designs do).  So if I used Application Styling, I still have to utilize some method of getting the other controls to look the same - at least a CSS file if not a full theme.  Right so far?

Also, in my preliminary work with a couple of controls such as the WebDateChooser, there is a visiual difference in how controls are rendered in VS2008 during design and at runtime in IE7 when the float property is used on the same area of the page as an IG control.  I notice float is not a property available in AppStylist for ASP.NET, so I'm thinking this may be a problem as the majority of our pages use float for positioning...

Thanks for any insight.
