Hi All!

Got lazy this week and ended up doing all my reviews today, so apologies in advance for the date showing the same for each review.(oh and I think I goofed on one with the icons,...not going back to make it right cause it still looks ok.)

I am taking one of the community suggestions and highlighting one artist today.Because of the dark themes and superb artistry, I chose KittyMalone. Its been stormy alot here lately and her themes just fit the bizzare mood a good thunderstorm can give a person.

First up, is Vampothika , a distinctly haunted house looking skin that  brings a sense of victoriana to the whole look. Though I don't usually comment on the fonts used for blinds, I feel I should mention the great fonts used for this one. I really love the look the author chose to balance this theme.

I decided to add a slight twist today , instead of highlighting an object bar, I chose to try out my desktopX program on all of you.

Because of the victorian theme, I chose Medival clock by ChaosMachine. While it is considered medieval by it's author, it maintains a distinctly victorian look  that suited the whole theme.

I wanted to show the moon within this view as well and so chose LunaVista by Will Rose . This object shows the moon in each phase(though because I also had another object that showed the phases this one was disabled and showed only full view) with a full rotational view as you might see it in the night sky. Way cool feature for a creature such as myself!

Just for giggles, and because it looked good, I also placed The Raven by loracnamwen on my desktop. While this bird doesn't really resemble a raven to me, it really looks cool on my desktop and blends well with the vision as  a whole. Added bonus, it opens my documents!

As I mentioned before I am using another object that shows moon phases. I like having the weather on desktop and while weatherbug is always my favorite, this desktopx object is really cool to have around especially with all the cool features it includes.

LookinGlass Weather Suite-Lite Edition by Will Rose was the perfect weather object for me. I can see a whole week at a glance, after a few minutes, I can see the whole week's evening weather and moon phases, and I can see live radar as well. Very sleek but powerful. (ya I know it's old , but it's still really great!)

Temple Oblivion is the cursorfx theme I chose for this setup. I know it belongs with a different skin but I liked it best with this one.

To tie up the whole theme here I chose a wallpaper that had some detail but wasn't very crisp, something that made the sharpness of Kitty's work stand out. I dug thru the libraries and found dream by RNA in the ol' wayback machine!

This wall didn't have a famous name nor was it particularly popular, judging by the rating. It just really fit the look I  wanted and so I downloaded and put it up for view with the rest of the theme. Glad I chose it. Works nicely.

I also tried out Kitty's  Temple Oblivion theme ,though I am not a big red fan,I have to admit the styling and darkness of this blind really works with the coloring.

The cursor I chose for this one was Blade 50 by Rycher. The curling blades accentuate the pointed blades of the start menu this blind uses.

MB-MetalReligion By ModBlackmoon is a very dark, ominous looking DesktopX theme that totally sets KittyMalone's Temple Oblivion blind off. There are quite a few features in this theme, most of which I haven't really tried out yet, but I had to use it because it was just perfect for the look I was going for here.

Blacklight rc by buzzh58 is the right click menu I used here.

The wall is one that came with one of my blinds. wish I knew which one , but I imagine it's one with a nice dark theme!

well I really wanted to add one more to the list but I see this is getting long and the time is going very fast. If I  want to get it out before tomorrow I am going to have to leave it here.. so you'll have to wait till next time to see what other theme I made up to highlight this author!

be safe all and thanks for reading!!!
