    i have not seen a thread on sharing M17x themes besides the all white one i made this one just playing around with the white one check it out and post your them too!

    red, white, light blue mixed together!

    UPDATE: i figured out a way to have separate colors for left and right speakers!
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eDrmNcWdmYY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eDrmNcWdmYY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width='560' height='340'></embed></object>

    Edit: command center has been updated, the old themes on the first 10 pages will not work with the new command center.

    @Moo...how do I go to 'advanced' in FX? i see it nowhere in the menus. "Basic" is highlighted at the bottom, clicking on it does nothing.

    when i open your rainbow theme, it puts me in 'advanced' mode but re-opening command center goes back to basic.

    Yeah i'm having troubles, and it's most likely my fault. I tried unzipping and then i tried to put it in the theme folder and it tells me that the folder is empty cannot unzip.

    Mr. Moo's worked perfectly, (love the morphing by the way)i even put them in the theme folder and it cannot see the file extension. oh well

    I just had a idea for a theme, of course I'm not as talented as Moo and others so i was wondering if someone could do a night rider theme. Have like keyboards 1-4 morph the red back and fortha cross like kit has on the front. it might be annoying for some but i thought it would be pretty cool. Not sure what would be the background, possible white or just black

    Nice work on the white theme Jason..a bit pinkish and bluish in some areas but it's not bad :).

    Is there a way to make it so the alienhead/power button stays the same colour regardless of if you are plugged in or on battery? I have red + redish pink selected and it bugs the hell out of me..:/

    Is there a way to make the keyboard lighting "dance" to music?
    For example, have the keyboard flash on each beat, morph on slow parts ect.

    I remember seeing this but for games, where if you get shot, the keyboard flashes. BTW, what games is it compatible with and how do I set it to do that?

    Thanks!

    there is a list some where

    So would it automatically flash if I get shot at (As long as the game is compatible with it) or do I have to set it up in some way.
