You have two options:

• buy their ASPx controls, then you get the source. But then you have the real thing and don't need to mimic it.
• on the page you linked, right click and view the source. As it is ASP.Net, the styles are stored on your machine, you just have to learn where to find them so you can examine them.

My understanding is that DevExpress have moved to using an HTTP handler to deliver their styles and perform optimisations with what is delivered. So look for requests to any .axd files.
