    Hey all,

    For some reason the Advanced features of AlienFX won't work on my M11x. I can change the colors if I use the Quick Change option from the taskbar, but using the Command Centre to do something interesting (like patterns and flashing lights), and it makes no difference what I change. I have it set as ColorWheel.apt right now, but it's just solid blue on all the lights.

    I did do a fresh install of Windows and everything, but it had this problem before as well.

    On a side note, whenever I try to search for something on these forums, I get:

    "Could not find phrase 'invalid_search_query'."


    Thanks!

    Seems to be working now. Just needed a reset, I guess.

    Curiously though, the alien head power button stays red, when I've set it to purple. Anyone know what that's about? Is the red supposed to be conveying some status to me, or something? The theme is set to purple for AC, and orange for battery, so it should never be red...

    Thanks.
