title: How to change default highlighted "today" date in datepicker
body: <p>I'm using datepicker for selecting dates in two date fields (from date and to date).</p>
  
  <p>In those, the default highlighted date is today date. I need to change the default highlighted date to some other day in the second datepicker. (as a example today + 8 days).</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this correctly ?</p>
  
  <p>following are my datepickers,</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(function() {
  $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
  $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd"); // ISO 8601
  $( "#datepicker2" ).datepicker();
  $( "#datepicker2" ).datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "yy-mm-dd");
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>

  <p>I put the following,</p>
  
  <pre><code>$( "#datepicker2" ).datepicker("option", "defaultDate", +2);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You can see still the 21 day (today) is Highlighting and 23 is bordered with black line. I need see 23 looks like 21 with hi lighting.  No need to highlight 21.</p>
