    I'm afraid that the only way to achieve this is by writing your own software with this function since Dell's Command Center isn't open source, in order to modify it and doesn't give you the ability to change the led's flashing rate in its current state.

    there is however a way to do that. there is source code available for winamp alienfx plugin, i have been already looking into it as i also want to develop something. only flaw is that it is written in C++ and i am c# developer ;-)
