Area Splitter customization?

Permalink
I already love Area Splitter if just for one feature displayed as the accordion function for my FAQ's:

But how the heck do I customize the css? I know there is a css class selector option for each accordion section but which css do I use and can I customize the whole block with css?

Best way to customize the accordion and tabs is to build your own theme here:http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/... and install it in the Area Splitter as explained in the block.
Although you could customize them manually, I wouldn't really recommend it unless you really know what you're doing.

I 'themerolled' my jquery on here. Though all of my image files, fonts, etc. match what they're supposed to be in the actual css file, when I apply the theme to my accordion or tabs, it doesn't show. Instead I get Times text and gray backgrounds.

Does the 'rolled' folder go into the same folder as the smoothness and ui-lightness themes already installed?

Thanks!

Got it! There is a direct call out in the controller.php file of the package to the exact filenames of the default .js and .css files.

When I have time, I may play with making it read whatever css file is within the theme's directory instead of having to change the filename of those files or editing the controller.php file to match what is in the theme's folder.
