In jquery ui 1.7.* I used to do :
 $.extend($.ui.slider.defaults,{object with defaults});
In 1.8 it doesn't work.
What's the standard way of setting defaults in 1.8 ?

    Via the jQuery UI 1.8 upgrade guide, $.ui.foo.defaults was moved to $.ui.foo.prototype.options.
So for your example, you would set the defaults for all slider instances by:
$.extend($.ui.slider.prototype.options, { object with defaults });
