CSS: styling the jquery ui date picker? - css

Question

I'm trying to style the jquery UI date picker.
Everything works fine with one exception.
I need to make everything centered but I can't seem to achieve that.
Here what i have so far:
$('#calendar').datepicker({
inline: true,
firstDay: 1,
showOtherMonths: true,
dayNamesMin: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']
});
.ui-datepicker,
.ui-datepicker table,
.ui-datepicker tr,
.ui-datepicker td,
.ui-datepicker th {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
border-spacing: 0;
}
.ui-datepicker {
display: none;
width: 100%;
padding: 35px;
cursor: default;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 24px;
background: #fff;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
border:solid 1px #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-header {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #d6d6d6;
}
.ui-datepicker-title { text-align: center; }
.ui-datepicker-month {
position: relative;
padding-right: 15px;
color: #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-year {
padding-left: 8px;
color: #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-month:before {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 0;
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
content: '';
background: #a5cd4e;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #a5cd4e 0%, #6b8f1a 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#a5cd4e), color-stop(100%,#6b8f1a));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #a5cd4e 0%,#6b8f1a 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #a5cd4e 0%,#6b8f1a 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #a5cd4e 0%,#6b8f1a 100%);
background: linear-gradient(top, #a5cd4e 0%,#6b8f1a 100%);
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.ui-datepicker-prev,
.ui-datepicker-next {
position: absolute;
top: -2px;
padding: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.ui-datepicker-prev {
left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}
.ui-datepicker-next {
right: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
.ui-datepicker-prev span,
.ui-datepicker-next span{
display: block;
width: 5px;
height: 10px;
text-indent: -9999px;
background-image: url(../img/arrows.png);
}
.ui-datepicker-prev span { background-position: 0px 0px; }
.ui-datepicker-next span { background-position: -5px 0px; }
.ui-datepicker-prev-hover span { background-position: 0px -10px; }
.ui-datepicker-next-hover span { background-position: -5px -10px; }
.ui-datepicker-calendar th {
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
text-align: center;
font-weight: normal;
color: #a8a8a8;
width:100%;
}
.ui-datepicker-calendar td {
padding: 0 7px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 26px;
}
.ui-datepicker-calendar .ui-state-default {
display: block;
width: 26px;
outline: none;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}
.ui-datepicker-calendar .ui-state-active {
color: #e91e62;
border: 1px solid #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-other-month .ui-state-default { color: #ccc; }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<div id="calendar">
</div>
If you look at the example above, you will see a gap which is not wanted and the content of the calendar is not really centered!
Could someone please advice on this issue?
Here is a fiddle as well if needed: https://jsfiddle.net/u7cocxdy/2/
any help would be appreciated.

You had a width:100% in there (.ui-datepicker-calendar th), which i deleted. This got rid of the gap. I then used margin: 0 auto to center the table.
$('#calendar').datepicker({
inline: true,
firstDay: 1,
showOtherMonths: true,
dayNamesMin: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']
});
.ui-datepicker,
.ui-datepicker table,
.ui-datepicker tr,
.ui-datepicker td,
.ui-datepicker th {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
border-spacing: 0;
}
.ui-datepicker {
display: none;
width: 100%;
padding: 35px;
cursor: default;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 24px;
background: #fff;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
border: solid 1px #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-header {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #d6d6d6;
}
.ui-datepicker-title {
text-align: center;
}
.ui-datepicker-month {
position: relative;
padding-right: 15px;
color: #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-year {
padding-left: 8px;
color: #e91e62;
}
.ui-datepicker-month:before {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 0;
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
content: '';

background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #a5cd4e 0%, #6b8f1a 100%);
