trying to spice up a jquery ui accordion

here's my current markup (via JSBin). i have a basic jquery ui accordion (i think everything is ok with it), but am looking to make it more visually appealing.

Basically, I'm trying to mirror the look and feel of neon sky creative media's flash-based menu, which i can't post a link to because new users can only post 1 hyperlink max. just google "j-carrier photography" and you'll see an example of what I'm going for.

I've tried, and failed,开发者_JAVA百科 to add a "+" icon (where applicable) on mouseover, and animate the background color and opacity of each menu item.

any help would be appreciated.

In your jquery ui css folder you will find the css file. It is commented extensively for easy editing. Most of what you want to do can be accomplished by editing this file.
