jquery-rails using jQueryUI with custom theme

I'm trying to load in a custom theme for a Rails 3.1.rc5 project to overrule the redmond one that is automatically included by jquery-rails. Can anyone advise me on this? As the redmond styles are always being included after my application.css and unfortunately the documentation doesn't give much away...

Thanks!

Note: With jquery-rails it's pulling all the files in from the google CDN.

What I generally do is the following:

  1. Use the jQuery-UI theme roller and download the results.
  2. clean the jquery stuff out of public/javascripts. I generally leave the main jquery.js file there.
  3. extract the images and stylesheet from the download and put them in public/stylesheets and public/stylesheets/images respectively.
  4. rename the .css file to something nicer like jQuery-ui.min.js
  5. extract the jquery ui .js file into public/javascripts/

when the dust settles I now see my theme in use at this point.
