@Bryan Is this the only method? Of course not, I'm sure there are plenty of other valid methods to creating customized branding. Can you explain a bit further in detail how you're implementing your branding via SPD? Are you unghosting corev4.css at the web or site collection level?

Hi, This was a very helpful article. I’m curious to know if this is the only way to really make a custom theme for sps 2010? I’ve tried the exporting from powerpoint and opening via SPD and manually copying additional selectors into the themed corev4xxxx.css.

Hi David,

It should work the same, assuming the custom master page contains the AdditionalPageHead delegate control.

If you’re using the VS2010 SharePoint 2010 tools, you can create two modules, one for your master page and one for your delegate control registration. You can then create a single feature which would include both modules if you want the delegate control to be scoped at the site collection level. If you want the delegate to be web scoped, then you can create two features instead, a site scoped feature for the master page and a web scoped feature for the delegate.

If I’m missing something to your question, send me more details and we can figure it out!

Hi Sing,

How does your DelegateControl work in a case where it is deployed side-by-side with a custom MasterPage? My custom masterpage is just a slightly modified version of the starter page I downloaded from CodePlex.

Thanks,
David.
