    I have run across some css issues that are new to me. No matter what I try, my css (whether applied to my style.css or tabbed-widgets.css) shows for a split second before being overridden and styled differently. Is it something in the jquery perhaps..I’ve never had this issue before.

    Specifically i am trying to take out the bullets and add a rounded background to the tabs but as you can see here…it’s still pretty plain. Thanks if you can take a look.

    Ok, update. It seems that I can give a background color to the “accordion” tabs but not so with the “tabbed”. The long and short of it seems that I cannot find a way to make some nice looking styled, rounded tabs for the “tabs”, if that makes sense. I have tried many different things trying to override the styling that seems to take over my css but can’t control it. I’m hoping to get a lead here..anyone?

    You theme must place style.css after the wp_head() call in header.php (which your theme doesn’t do).

    Secondly, styling tabbed widgets requires some serious CSS skills.

    Finally, I there must be some base styles included by default (which are now the bare minimum), otherwise we’ll have posts from users who don’t see tabs as tabs at all.

    Thanks Kaspars, I appreciate very much your reply.

    I’m having issues getting the tabs styled properly too. I’m familiar with styling through CSS but I can’t find any documentation about what classes and IDs are being used.

    I copied some of the ones from the ‘twenty-ten.css’ file but there are some things I’m still not sure how to format. For instance, the inactive tabs.

    Also, I’m not sure how to set which tab is displayed by default. I see on the widget options a radio button for “default start tab” but I’m not sure how to choose which tab is the default. I’ve tried clicking the radio button of the one I want to be default and then to click “default start tab” and vice versa but it doesn’t appear to do anything. So I’m not sure how to actually select the tab I want to be default.

    This looks like a very useful plugin if I can just figure out a couple of these little details.

    Thanks in advance!

    Managed to style the css after some digging around in the code and css files.

    I’m facing the same issue as todd above: I don’t know how to set a default start tab – doesn’t seem intuitive, or maybe I’m missing something?
