    By the way, once you download it you will need to put it in Documents>AlienFX>Themes

    If anyone has any issues downloading this let me know!

    This is for the keyboard and number pad. Since it takes so long to set up!

    On the R3?

    I have not had a chance to test it on an R2, but if its not working then that could be a clue! Ill do some digging.

    Confirmed it works on R3 still. Seems that the R1 and R2 can share themes but not the R3...

    Sorry about that! But thanks for bringing it to my attention!

    No that's not the case. It loaded up just fine for me, nice work. I've created a few morphing themes but I'm usually too lazy to do the nice looking themes that morph slowly with all colors like this. You just need to place the file where Podunks said, then open AlienFX, load the file and click apply.

    Np, sorry it doesnt work for you guys....

    Did you place it in the folder first then try and open it up?

    There could be an issue if the zones or coloring options on the R2 are different....

    Found the issue to get this working ona R2

    Change this
    PHP:
      <Devices>
        <    DeviceID>1</DeviceID>
        <    Description>M17xR3 Chassis</Description>
        <    DeviceTypeID>1</DeviceTypeID>
        <    PID>0520</PID>
        <    Model>M17xR3</Model>
        <    CompatibleSystem />
        <    ActionsPerZones>0</ActionsPerZones>
      </    Devices>
    to this
    PHP:
    <Devices>
        <    DeviceID>1</DeviceID>
        <    Description>M17x Chassis</Description>
        <    DeviceTypeID>1</DeviceTypeID>
        <    PID>0512</PID>
        <    Model>M17x</Model>
        <    CompatibleSystem />
        <    ActionsPerZones>0</ActionsPerZones>
      </    Devices>
