    They removed the white option from Alien FX although we don't know why. The general consensus is it was never really white anyways, it tended to lead more towards almost a pink in places and as such they may have removed it as it just wasn't a true white. You can get it back if you really want by opening the AlienFX files in a text pad and altering the color codes manually though. There is a thread in the forums somewhere here about it already and instructions on how to edit it back in yourself.

    Pulled this off a dell forum, maybe it will help.

    That's basically the reason why it was removed. There is no white led nor option on the AWCC to do this.
