    Hi all

    Love my new M15x but am getting V annoyed by stealth mode. Difficult to tell from looking at the touch control whether it's on or off.

    Anyone know whether it's possible to use an advanced theme in alienfx to indicate that stealth mode's engaged? I'm new to it but it looks as though you can trigger colour changes etc in response to events and actions in programs. Is this possible?

    thanks

    Richard

    cool ta. The people on this forum are really helpful - I get the feeling that if I created a thread asking for the meaning of life someone would post the answer in about 25 seconds! :)

    That would be 42. (Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe)

    Wattos' little app is awesome. Make sure you run it with elevated permissions so you can switch back and forth.

    also, make sure you get the version from page 2. Ill probably soon rewrite some of the apps so you can set a alienFX theme when in stealth mode

    When I run the Stealth Mode Indicator it always shows as green indicating that stealth mode is off. If I choose enable it goes red, states that stealth mode is now enabled, then immediately goes back to green again. Right clicking at that point I find that only the enable option is available, since it is green and not red of course. Any suggestions? I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and am logged into Windows with local administrative rights. Thanks in advance.
