    lol no, I didn't have Hide file extensions turned off, and I typed .zip just by habit, and Vista added in another .zip.

    Here's an all white theme. I see why they didn't include it, some places don't look very white. The speakers look light blue and I can see a purple reflection.

    i suppose we're talking about changing the AlienFX application here so unless it's getting those colour codes from an external source, chances are that it's highly unlikely that it's possible to change.

    If it's possible then i can give it a go for sure :) i like crunching code :)

    Lol Moo sounds a little Jealous... but good job Jason, still a little on the pink side though ;)

    IMO Green is still the most vibrant and best color on this system... I'm very suprised that they didn't throw a default white color in here

    Haha yeah, so yours had a pink tint too? On one of the other threads about white someone said it would have a pink tint. My speakers had a light blue tint as well.

    Hi,
    I noticed that someone has already cracked the secret of adding white. I have a file that also changes the alien badge and power button white as well.

    Thanks,
    Gabe

    sweet....

    on a slightly different note...(and since i dont have mine yet)

    is there anyway to have the colors "move"? think knight rider or the main viewer on the original star trek.
