I tried other answers, but they did not do this for me. After several minutes of working with the problem, I came up with a solution that works for me (Blueprint 1.0, JQuery UI 1.8.5, tested with Smoothness, Redmond and Dark Hive themes in Chrome and IE):
.ui-datepicker-calendar tbody tr:nth-child(even) td, .ui-datepicker-calendar tbody tr.even td { background-color:inherit; } .ui-datepicker-calendar thead th { background-color:inherit; } .ui-datepicker-calendar tbody tr td { line-height: 1.1; } .ui-datepicker { font-size: 0.9em; }
