    If its in the forums somewhere my bad, but havnt seen anything about it yet!

    Took some digging but found it for Windows 7 instead of vista and xp that you can get from the Alienware site!! I think its pretty cool.

    And if your not sure what it is, its a customizable theme with a bunch of cool setting and things you can add and change!!!

    At first I wanted to use it... Until I realized it looked just like Windows XP. Ugh, if I wanted an XP feel I would use an XP feel, I like Windows Aero lol.

    AlienGuis is REALLY buggy...most of us wont use it due to MANY issues with it...i really liked it at first as well, thought it was cool...in the end, just not worth the head aches.

    I started to have issues with it as well. Mostly the issues where with the min/max/close buttons, but you can just use the windows top bar. This I felt took away from the theme.
