I know, it seems strange that you shoudl have to have a plugin when you're writing your own script, but the problem is that the style is decided on and loaded all within global.php.

I suppose another method would be to be to copy the code from global.php instead of including it, then you can insert a call to force_styleid(). But then you might have to update your scripts if global.php changes in a later version.

A style can be specified in the parameter "styleid", so you might be able to do something like set $_REQUEST['styleid'] before global.php is included, but I notice that that sets a cookie with that style value, and I'm not sure if that will affect other pages or not.

Now I am beginning to understand.

I should be able to create globalgreenwidget.php, specify $bootstrap->force_styleid(); and of course change the custom page call to global to globalgreenwidget.php.

The downfall as mentioned above, is having to maually fix this with every upgrade.
