Default.aspx and CSS modification

Hi Carlos,
Thank you for contacting us.
In fact, you will need to customize default CSS styles for required elements (e.g. the page footer).
You can use developer tools built into your favorite browser to see default styles and other settings. See the attached screenshot for more information.
Please refer to MSDN for more information on how to add custom styles to your ASP.NET application, because it is not specific to our framework.

Thanks Dennis. Sorry about my ignorance. I'm using ie8. Can you please guide me to:

1. Remove the empty space at the very bottom?
2. Remove the br from the About? Seems like it's as easy as just combining the Title with the Version Format? But is there a more elegant way?
3. I can do the changes in the browser, but how do I make them in VS? Where can I modify the DXR.axd file?
   Thanks,
   Carlos

Forgot the attachements of what I mean.

Hi Carlos,
You can provide your own user styles to override author styles. As I already suggested above, please refer to MSDN or Google for more information, because it is not specific to DevExpress.
For instance, in the simplest case, you can specify inline styles as follows:
<div id="Footer" class="Footer" style="padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px">
(Though I recommend you not use inline styles, as it is difficult to track them in complex pages).
As for removing a new line character, this is actually how the information is returned by the GetAboutInfoString method internally:

C#
namespace DevExpress.ExpressApp.Web.Controls {  
    [ToolboxItem(true)]  
    [System.Drawing.ToolboxBitmap(typeof(WebApplication), "Resources.AboutInfoControl.png")]  
    public class AboutInfoControl : Literal {  
        public AboutInfoControl() : base() { }  
        protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) {  
            base.OnLoad(e);  
            AboutInfo aboutInfoObject = new AboutInfo(WebApplication.Instance);  
            Text = aboutInfoObject.GetAboutInfoString();  
        }  
    }  
}  

I think it will be easier for you to create your own about control that will meet your needs rather than to customize the default one (although it is also possible).
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks Dennis,
Took care of it by creating a control in Module.Web.Controls as follows:
    public class AboutInfoControl : Literal
    {
        protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);
            AboutInfo aboutInfoObject = new AboutInfo(WebApplication.Instance);
            Text = string.Format("{0} - {1} - {2}", aboutInfoObject.Company, aboutInfoObject.ProductName, aboutInfoObject.Version);
        }
    }
So that's taken care off.
Now, in regards to the "inline styles" that was simple. I did what you said. But I'm still confused. I have searched everywhere on the .Web folder and cannot find any *.css files. However the App_Theme folder has one Aqua Theme and is states:
<dxe:ASPxButton runat="server" SpriteCssFilePath="~/App_Themes/Aqua/{0}/sprite.css" CssPostfix="Aqua" CssFilePath="~/App_Themes/Aqua/{0}/styles.css">
However, if I remove my Text (as in Text = "";) I still get a blue bar at the bottom. How do I get rid of that? (screenshot attached)
Sorry to bug you man. This is a first for web for me.
Thanks again,
Carlos

Hello Carlos,
I have attached a small demo. See my changes in the Default.aspx and MoveFooter.js files. Please let me know if I can help you further.
>>CssFilePath="~/App_Themes/Aqua/{0}/styles.css">
It is loaded automatically from the DevExpress.Web.ASPxThemes.v11.2.dll assembly.
Thanks,
Dennis
