No offense to anyone involved with creating the default examples, but
I think the default and especially the "alternate" UI DatePicker
styles are awful. I realize they are meant to be a starting point for
people to customize. In theory that sounds like a good idea, but in
reality it's probably detrimental to DatePicker's success. Customizing
the calendar [and doing it well] takes a fair amount of CSS/graphic
design work & I doubt many jQuery users have the skills and/or the
time.

For those who aren't familiar with them, Calendar for MooTools' three
default styles are phenomenal (link below) - clean, professional &
modern looking. Compare them to the DatePicker default styles & you'll
see what I'm talking about. I'd love to see a calendar style of
similar quality available for UI DatePicker.

(click the "Stylesheets" tab for the alternate style example .. pretty
clunky)
MooTools Calendar: http://www.electricprism.com/aeron/calendar/

Anyone have any better examples of UI DatePicker styles?
