Good point. This page is not really intended to help you apply a theme to a
dialog, and we need a page that does speak to this (as you've pointed out).
This page is intended for a designer who want's to do a completely custom
jQuery UI theme, or perhaps they just want to theme the dialog widget. This
guides them along the way of how do you create or design a theme for this
component. But for most users, ThemeRoller may be enough, or at least a
start. And that should be as simple as linking to ui.all.css (which @imports
ui.core.css, ui.theme.css, ui.dialog.css).

Understandable. See you there in the future :)
