Steveb, if you made a proper fork of Stoli's repo and used branches for your patches, you'd have a much better chance of getting your changes included in the official skin via pull requests as Stoli mentioned.
I'll go through what you've done now to try to get it into the official repo, but you're going to have a hard time keeping up with changes to the official repo this way, which inevitably will lead to conflicts with other patches as time goes on. Rather a lot has already happened since you cloned the repo on Apr 17, making it so I have to go through your patches by hand to make sure they don't squash other fixes.
Of course, if you just want to maintain your own version of the skin, that's fine as well. IMHO it's best not to bifurcate the user-base, but it's your prerogative of course.
