Question

Is it possible to completely customize jquery-ui datepicker to match your website theme, including position of header, buttons and images. If it is possible, than what should be the approach. How to go about it? I want to (almost) redesign it completely. What are other possible options?

I have tried to change/customize it a bit using jquery Theme Roller but it does not allow to change buttons, images or overall design of the date picker box.

Any help is highly appreciated.
