It's v2 as of last week's release of 1.6rc4, which includes the new jQuery UI CSS Framework.

(all css and images) Is there a reason it isn't? This is a known issue. We're just doing some final tests on a fix for it. Yes, ThemeRoller should include an entire theme. In development/testing we linked to versions of these other files, as ThemeRoller only modifies the one (ui.theme.css). The rest make up the jQuery UI CSS Framework, and are required for plugins to work. You can track progress on this issue/fix here http://ui.jquery.com/bugs/ticket/3735 http://ui.jquery.com/bugs/ticket/3789 In the meantime, grab the development bundle ( there's a link on the ui.jquery.com home - top right and bottom right). Here's a direct link: http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/files/jquery.ui-1.6rc4.zip Inside there you'll find a complete theme /themes/default/ Overwrite the ui.theme.css in there with the one you downloaded from ThemeRoller and you should be all set. Then you only need to link to ui.all.css (which does the @imports in the correct order - ui.core.css, ui.theme.css, ui.allplugins.css). > > I also noticed that the the ui-tabs docs show code for the old flora > theme .. and not docs for integration with themeroller.

In order to ensure documentation is stable, we document the latest stable version. Currently that is 1.5.3, which included the flora theme. Flora has been deprecated now that we have the new CSS Framework and ThemeRoller v2. The docs will be updated over the next 2 weeks leading up the the 1.6 final release. The old (1.5.3) docs will be archived for those that still need them. > > It used to be possible to just say ... $('#tabs > ul').tabs(); ... and > all the appropriate class attributes were distributed through the dom > for a given tabs widget.

(This would seem > to be a huge issue to me, is it for others?) I'd be curious to know if the reset is included before the theme. Also, if you could test this again once you have a complete theme.
