'format jquery ui slider tooltip - class not used

I try to format a tooltip but the class does not seem to be used anyhow. here is my fiddle:

I used the following in the tooltip properties:

classes: {
        "tooltip": "testMe"
      }

and defined the class accordingly. Is it actually possible to append a class this way ?
