    I recently purchased a m17x r4 laptop. I noticed that when I change the theme of alienfx to an advanced one with morphing effects and start up the computer from power off, the only part that lights up is the left half of the keyboard, the other regions (including the touchpad region) remain dark.

    I am curious if this problem is common and is there a solution to this.
    Thanks!

    My does the same thing. Once windows is running it does what is supposed to. At least when I shut it down in dark mode.
