    I enjoy the morphing in the alienFX. I don't enjoy, however, when it immediately reverts back to its initial color after the transition. Could we possibly get an update that would allow the option for a smooth transition each way?

    Example of current AlienFX with morphing:

    Color (a) fades to color (b) then immediately transits back to color (a)

    Example of what I'd like to have happen:

    Color (a) fades to color (b) then color (b) fades back to color (a).

    Rinse, lather, repeat.

    Hit it on the head nikonelite. This will create a smooth transition. It's double the work, technically, but looks really cool.

    Thanks a ton. Does doing this increase CPU usage at all?

    I think this is completly automated once it's written to the AlienFX Board, for me it already does vibrate/changing colors after starting the laptop. I also have such a sequence in rainbow form. Don't think it's CPU active at all.
