Unusable Theming

[GoogleCodeExporter]

** What steps will reproduce the problem?
Use version 1.1.

** What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that the included stylesheet labeled 
"ui.dropdownchecklist.standalone.css" would actually have standalone styling, 
and not use my jQuery theme colors.  And yet, it still grabs the theme.

And for the themed version, why is this control using header / "control" 
styling for content?  Look at jQuery UI's Autocomplete and Slider controls - 
they're filled with white, not the "control" coloring (I realize that the 
autocomplete is just an input box, and that's why, but it's still a display of 
the "theme").  

I think jQuery UI theming is a great thing, but that doesn't mean that the 
entire dropdownchecklist control should be the theme color - just the "button" 
part of the control (icon or whatever), not the "value" part.

** What is your environment?
-- DropDownCheckList version: v1.1
-- jQuery version: v1.4.2
-- jQuery UI version: v1.8.2
-- Browser and version: Firefox 3.6.12

For the first item, why not provide an option in the constructor that doesn't 
add the jQuery UI classes?

By design, DDCL uses css styling names as found in jQuery themes.  The 
standalone.css file is intended to provide a set of simple defaults when the 
jQuery theme is not present.  It is NOT designed to override definitions when a 
jQuery theme is active.

I rather like the idea of an initialization option that would change the class 
names, so I will add that to the wish list for a future enhancement.

Same concerns as 123, with same potential solution.
