Artifice WB - One of the Best "First" Skins I've Ever Seen

Great walls and icons too

http://mkorashy.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=6414&libid=1

Usually when someone gets started skinning a new application, the results are mixed to say the least.  It takes time to learn the ins and outs of the app, and learning what looks good versus what doesn't can take a skinner years to master.  With that in mind, imagine my shock when mkorashy uploaded Artifice WB for moderation.

Artifice is colorful, unique and minimalistic.  It's one of the most usable skins I've run in ages.  The amazing part is that this is mkorashy's first WindowBlinds skin.  Prior to this he'd submitted a few good wallpapers, but nothing to hint at his skinning abilities.

To go along with Artifice WB, he's also put together wallpapers and an IconPackage.  Artifice is a great suite of skins to take for a spin if you're looking for something new, different, and of high quality.

I'm using all the elements of the Artifice suite right now. It looks great! Will there be an Artifice Cursor FX set in the future?

For Zoomba thank you so much for your article and announcement for my work, I guess we both have the same Target which is making every one happy and satisfied about his computer graphical interface, that's agood target in it self. :)  for DrDon I hope you enjoy it all for along time, and about the Cursor FX, I'm sorry I'm not good in making it. But you can use one of Aroche's pieces it looks perfect I guess, and I hope he will like Artifice and design acursor for it. :CONGRAT:  and for Igspence,thank you.., the start menu is readable because it has two parts, part is Black on White, and the other is White on Grey.and I don't recognize the source of your problem.
