The way plugins are generally coded, are to use the themes CSS styles. That way it will seamlessly work with as many themes as possible.
You can write your own CSS to target that plugins elements.
these plugins have their own css and their own design at lists items li, ul, ol, but in this theme this designs are overrided by the theme’s designs so what you said isn’t true.
If you’re using a menu plugin, it is always going to need it’s own CSS and most likely some Javascript files to make it work and look the way that it’s meant to.
The way that it normally works, when the plugin is written the right way at least, is that the plugins CSS file will be loaded first, and the themes CSS will be loaded after so that it will take precedence over the plugin.
Can you show us an example of a page that’s got a menu that’s not looking the way that you expect and where the plugins CSS is over-writing the themes’ CSS?
Yes, of course.
Please go to http://mobilierdegradina.net
The left menu is made by the plugin Better Menu widget, the right one is made by custom menu widget from wordpress.
Both ot the menus look the same to me. What exactly isn’t right about it, and which one is the problem?
Omg, I told you what is the problem. The left menu must have different design but theme’s css overrides plugins css.
Look how should be the left menu made with the plugin Better Menu Widget: https://ps.w.org/better-menu-widget/assets/screenshot-3.png?rev=678171
@mihai03 I have to agree with @catacaustic, the two sidebar lists of links (is that what you mean by menu?) look identical to me too.
OMG, guys please stop spamming. If you don’t read the problem and you don’t know the solution or at least some sugestions, please stop answering here!
Read again my problem! The wordpress theme I use overrides the css of the plugin that’s why both menus are looking the same!
That’s the problem. Please again, read the damn problem and stop answering just to make another message.

That’s not a theme we support, but in general you need to use more specific selectors to override CSS http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/27/css-specificity-things-you-should-know/
So it sounds like you either have the choice to redo your theme’s navigation styles so that they’re not so specific, or redo your plugin’s navigation styles so that they’re more specific.
You can use a separate plugin to hold your CSS modifications: http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/
Is there any way you could contact your theme’s vendors/ authors about this?
No, because this version of theme is a shared version so they don’t provide support. I also thing that javascript/jquery is overrided.
Can you clarify what you mean by “a shared version”? Where did you download the theme from?
