They are the telerik theme files. Telerik is used for the grids, etc. in the admin. Nopcommerce uses the Vista theme. If you change the theme it changes the look of the grids,some of the buttons, and menu in the admin.
I changed mine to Office2010Silver and added my own logo and header on the administration side and I really like how it looks!
Try out some of the themes and see how you like them.
@(Html.Telerik().StyleSheetRegistrar() .DefaultGroup(group => group .Add("telerik.common.min.css") .Add("telerik.vista.min.css") .Add("telerik.rtl.min.css") //uncomment the lines below in order to combine and compress CSS files //.Combined(true) //.Compress(true) ))
I hadn't considered themes or styling in the admin area!
I know what you mean. I didn't change the theme on the admin area at first but I found that as a store owner you spend so much time on the administration side that it is nice to get the look and feel to match your business.
The nice thing about the Telerik themes is that by changing the theme you can make big changes.
