The Framework and its tools supply attractive and functional defaults for the Telerik RadControls, while simultaneously allowing the developer to exercise very fine-grained, CSS-like control over every aspect of their appearance and behavior.
• Superior Performance - the Telerik Presentation Framework (TPF) is carefully crafted for high performance by minimizing the amount of repainting and layout rearrangement that needs to be done when constructing complex nested controls to the screen.

This tool, which runs either within Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or as a standalone utility, gives designers and developers alike a flexible way to build stylesheets for completely codeless customization of control appearance and behavior.

• Rotation and scaling – Apply free transformation to any graphical element with the help of the Visual Style Builder. Elements can be rotated, zoomed, and scaled depending on their state which gives you the ultimate Vista-like appearance.
• Visual Shape designer – You can use the Shape Designer to create curved free-form designs for your UI elements on an integrated drawing surface. There is no code involved, keeping the design as simple as possible. The Shape Designer supports Bezier curves as well, for complete control on the element's appearance.
