    Hey there, I was wondering if there is a way to change the power buttons color according to profiles made? It really sucks having the color be randomly distinct from the color schemes I've made.

    edit: What I meant was that i am unable to cange the color of the power button for any game added under the 'Applications menu".

    I gather one uses the software to make the change and save the profile?
    Does this not work for you?

    You should be able to customise the colour of the power button in the AlienFX editor. If you 'quick change' it will use the default colours. You have to make a new profile to adjust the colour of the power buttons.

    Not sure you can change what the power button does if its charging or on battery. I know mine doesn't change with the rest of the lights on my system.
