How to upgrade a custom jQuery UI theme?

Question

I created 2 custom themes with themeroller for JQuery UI 1.7 with themeroller. Now that I update to jQuery UI 1.8.5, I want to make sure that also my themes are updated. How can I automatically re-generate/update my custom themes with themeroller?

Answer 1

The jQuery UI theme css file includes an edit link in its comments. This link opens Themeroller with the settings of your custom theme.

Thanks a lot for posting your answer to this. I think you should accept it. – Sailplane

Yes. Many many thanks. You just saved me a huge headache! =) – Trying

What if I changed manually some "margin" or "padding" (Themeroller is quite limited what can be customized)? – Plastered

Answer 2

To add to fbuchinger's answer, this didn't work for me at first - one of the colours came through invalid, so the page did not display the theme properly and I was unable to download it.

If you have the same problem, check there is nothing highlighted red (error), correct as required and it should be OK.

And yes I know this would be better as a comment, but I don't have the required 50 reputation to comment.
