    Ok, so I was playing 'round with the AW theme editor, and came up with a cool looking pulsating theme (blue/purple). But when I reboot the only thing light up is the keyboard, I must wait for the rest of the lights to come on when the computer is finished booting, (all the lights do come on when the computer finishes booting).

    My questions are these -

    Should I be worried about this? Should I go back to a standard them? Is there a way to boot with all lights working? And dose any one other than me got this " problem"?

    Notes - I am running A05 On a M17x-R1 with the most up to date AW programs

    I am having a similar issue as well I have to turn off Alien FX and re enable it when windows starts with an advanced theme.
    This is different than stevies issue This is when you create an advanced theme and then it doesn't fully load untill windows starts. Basic themes are fine though. It's odd I will load my profile so you can see it for your self Grim. later though as I gotta go.

    Yeah, though i have a rainbow changing color vibrating illumination theme, and it all works already as soon i hit the start button, incl. changing colors, so it's not static. What is advanced then, can yu upload your theme? I think mine is pretty cool like that :D
