Description
Currently the jquery ui css overrides the link color specified in your own css. On my project, we need the links to be blue and underlined for accessibility reasons, but the ui css sets it to the same color as the text.
You can override these styles, but in doing so you are creating bug-prone, brittle code.
It'd sure be nice if we could customize the color for plain-text links inside ui widgets using themeroller. That way such hacks could be avoided.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ThemeRoller customization flow and the generated jQuery UI CSS, focusing on how link colors inside UI widgets are represented. Confirm the desired behavior against the accessibility requirement and the linked ticket; done means plain-text widget links can receive a configurable color without brittle CSS overrides.
