    I have my new m11x, and I happily clicked "accept" to the theme. However, it's bothering me now, and I've been clicking away trying to get it back to the original Windows 7 theme... With the windows 7 icon instead of the alien head.

    Thanks!

    If your using the AlienThemes Manager app thingy there should be a revert to default.

    If you're interested in themes otherwise, take a look @ stardock.com, I love using WindowBlinds, there are some really neat themes available made by the community. :)

    Also, I recommend uninstalling or at least disabling MyColors at startup, as you're not using it anymore.
