If you want to remove the glow from all elements of the jQuery interface, I would suggest using the following code near the start of your CSS:
*:focus { outline: none; -moz-box-shadow: none; -webkit-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none; }
This way, you will not need to track every single ui-focus selector (i.e...ui-btn-focus, .ui-tabs-focus, .ui-accordion-focus..ect).
