Thomas, If the style only applies to the one widget I would agree. But I have a very small mind and only have room in my head for things to look "one way"; even when on the user admin pages, group admin pages, work queue, work item.... :D
I actually ended back there (I actually link the stylesheets to index.jsp; required for certificate based authentication, dynamic application name from a config file and a few other pieces) . It is not the recommended/suggested solution. My question is what am am I missing?
