# Plugin, Widget & CSS Output

 * When creating a plugin that creates a widget for WordPress, should the plugin
   add CSS to style the widget, rather than letting default style.css theme file
   do the styling?
 * If the plugin simply outputs a list, then I personally would rather the plugin
   owner leave styling to the theme file, but if it required customisation, then
   I would include a custom CSS file for the widget.
 * The reason I ask, is that the output of TentBlogger Simple Top Posts forces CSS
   that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the blog. To rectify the problem, I simply
   commented out the CSS that was tweaking the widget output.
