Khubsurat Graphics Future Vision
I, Zythyr/Commander the owner of Khubsurat Graphics will no longer be updating this board. After the release of ZetaBoards, I have decided to leave the Invisionfree/ZetaBoards community. There are many reasons as to why I decided to do this and will not be discussing this with you guys. I have kept Khubsurat Graphics open as an archive for many resourses that you members can use. These include tutoirals, skins, graphics, etc. I feel there are many resourses archived on this board for members to learn from in order to pruse their hobby in graphic design, website design, forum based skinning, etc.

If you would like to contact me, send me an email through my profile page.

Too all my old friends, loyal members, acquaintances, wish you all the best. If you would like to stay in touch me, just email me through my profile page and I will give you my chat ID

If you press X on your key board, the foreground and the background will switch. The color on the topic is the forergorund. Click on the color and it will pop up a window. In that window, use the color picker to change the color
