Custom Skin + Persona?

Can someone help me please?

I would like to use both a custom skin and a persona at the same time. Or build a custom skin with the persona (or any other way to color the window border instead) included. So far I failed to get this. Of course I could make a custom skin to replace the standard skin and then use a persona like normal, but this would bring lots of issues when updating Opera, so it's not an option. Any other way to do it?

There is a work-around to load both a skin (button set) and a theme (persona). Select the desired skin through Appearance\themes and click OK. Select the desired theme through Appearance\themes but DO NOT click OK. Close the Appearance dialog by clicking on the top right X. Click HERE to see Z-1Glass and Curly Wood. These directions assume Opera has already stored the desire skins and themes in profile/skin folder.

The same results can be achieved by editing operaperf.ini:

Button Set={SmallPreferences}skin/Z1-glass-300.zip
Persona File={SmallPreferences}skin/curly_wood.zip



I have already suggested to DEV.OPERA that button sets and personas should have separate folders and separate tabs on the Appearance dialog. Chris Mills @ DEV.OPERA thought it was a good suggestion and was going to pass it along but that is as far as it has gotten.

Thats far less comfortable than I hoped, but it works. Thanks! I support the idea for separate settings for skins and personas. But at least I would like to be able to integrate persona-like settings into custom skins. Shouldn't be that difficult to do.
