Alienware desktop customization themes and wallpaper collections

Alienware official wallpaper collection (by BatBoy).
Grab them here.

This is compatible with all AW systems and can be used to restore your original if you wiped them.

I believe we have erawnelia to thank for this.
I recall one of his posts where he mentioned getting with the SW folks to put this together.
Thanks Brian!

In a future update, we need to ask them to include user icons as well.

In the event of a clean OS install, copy/paste the wallpapers to:
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Alienware (you will need to create the Alienware folder)

Alienware official avatars collection (by BatBoy).
User Pictures/Icons/Avatars (whatever you want to call them) are found here (this is a hidden directory):
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

Note: Until AW adds these to the wallpaper pack, you can grab them here (attached).

How to change the startup screen (by BatBoy).
To use the Alienware Red Glyph wallpaper as your Startup screen, see:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alie...gone-m11x.html

Or when you delete the default startup screen following the tutorial (By Batboy and myself) below and leave it blank,
you can use external software like Stardock logonstudio to change your startup screen much faster.

Check your C:\WINDOWS\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds directory.

There should be a JPG in there titled 'backgrounddefault'
If you delete that or change the name your computer will use the default windows7 startup screen.
You are now able to change it with other software.

Awesome! Thanks for organizing everything and putting it together for us!

EDIT: The "Alienware screensavers: old + new one »»» link" is just a picture of a crashed UFO. (Same as the "Roswell Wallpaper")

 

nice if we can finaly have a thread about the customisation to keep track of them without deseapearing in the nether it would be great

to bad the OSD mod died it was great to

EDIT: time machine theme link seem broken

 

Fixed it. Too much links in one time so i got them mixed up

 

Haha no biggie Thanks again!

 

Im gonna add some cursor fx themes and some dreams (deskscapes) later tonight. I know not everyone can use them but for people who have stardock software its nice to have them together in one list. Be sure to link me to everything worth putting in the list.

Ill pm zaidbaby about that if thats true.

 

Quick question. Is there any possibility that the old screensaver (alien hands I believe it was called) may have a better quality version? It looks pixelated and as if it has been shortened because the Alienware logo just barely flashes.

In case anyone wants to know how to change their Windows 7 Startup sound:

1) Download ResHacker.

2) Open ResHacker. Open the C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll file in ResHacker.

3) Find the folder that reads "WAVE" and expand everything below that.

4) Right click 1033 (this could have a different name depending on your locale), and click "Save [WAVE:5850:1033]". This is a backup of the original windows startup sound, save it where you please.

5) Right click 1033 (this could have a different name depending on your locale), and click Replace Resource. Click "Open file with new resource", and find the wave file you want to replace it with. Once you're done, in Resource Type, type "WAVE", in Resource Name type "5080", and under Resource Language type "1033" (or whatever number you have). Once done, click Replace.

6) Click File, then click Save. Save it on your desktop.

7) Drag the new hacked Imageres.dll into C:\windows\system32 directory

(I took then modified this guide from here)

 

finaly i found the osd mod there

sadly only the original one is availible the tweaked version for the M17x, M15x links are down

 

Well it is an old screensaver so the resolution probably is maxed out. Not sure about it being shorter. I had alot of trouble finding one so if anyone else finds one maybe he can compare them.

I heard people having trouble setting the sounds? Thats strange, i just change them in windows sounds in the configuration menu and hit save then it gives two choices: windows sounds or custom windows sounds and i choose custom windows sounds and that does the trick for me.

 

Windows 7 doesn't give you that option. At least I don't think so. Post a screenshot if it does and I'm wrong, I would love an easier way.

 

it does how ever it's "startup" sound as window will play the default sound and then play the one you set up at least it did this to me last time i tryed

 

I doesnt play the startup sound with me, only plays the transformer one.

 

I can't read it but I think you set your login as the transformer one. Not the actual windows startup noise. That would be the very first of the tree where it says "Windows" and there is the checkbox that says play windows startup noise.

 

Well i thoght thats what you guys mean by start up noise. I have the login then and the unlogin and shutdown. I think thats all you need really

 

Haha but it sounds so much cooler as the computer is starting up

 

then we need a 4th sound

breed wallpapers added.

 

wow great stuff.

 

Wow great guide dude! This should be stickied.

 

Nah this is a semi sticky lol. Maybe it should be linked in all the general information threads.

Made the tutorial for changing startup screen more clear thx to the tutorial from BatBoy.

alienware karat (alienware font) + translation guide are also available for download here. Also adde my selfmad Home Planet wallpapers.

Currently alot of things provided by Zaidbaby seem to be down.

m11x osd icons added to the list

 

an alienware cursor:

Alienware Invader Cursors // Blog // JJ.Ying's Skin & Icon Design

 

How do I change the Windows Startup sound? I can not do it through Sounds in control panel.

 

I posted instructions on the first page, I believe. Look there real quick.

 

Awesome, thank you +rep

 

You are welcome to add this wallpaper to the first post if you like, I did indeed make this myself.

http://prologic.darkstargamers.com/Alienware.jpg

 

got a name for it or can i call it global alienware?

 

Call it anything you like, I had no name for it

 

http://i1037.photobucket.com/albums/a458/miahsoul/Chrome-Blue.jpg
I didn't like how alienware made the Chrome Blue look so detailed while only making the chrome red alien's eye's red, so I did a small edit to the chrome blue to bring that detail to a red colored alienhead. Now I have the perfect red windows 7 alienware theme.

 

Great thx alot, i followed your exampe and made a nightvision version of it. I also made a pretty funny pop art wallpaper

Just messing around and made this today... image originally from 'net, I added the extra bits.

 

Great job GNandGS made me laugh

 

Hey I made a Product(RED) wallpaper for Alienware. You can pick it up here:

AlienRED by ~bladeiai on deviantART

If anyone has something they would like to see as an alienware wallpaper let me know.

Hey i love it

they are really cool, are those rendered?

 

thats all done in adobe fireworks.

 

Thanks Man!

Also here is another variation I just made (it's more glossy)

Nice - glad you are sticking around the forums. Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks, here is another one for the cold season....

Hey just a heads up, the link to the WMP skins on the front page is the same link as the one for the invader icons. I don't know if they're all supposed to be in the same package, but it looks like the link got duplicated on accident.

Just did a fresh install on my new ssd, this thread was relly helpful--thanks!

 

THX FOR THAT. its kinda messy to make this kind of threads. so i will look into it

 

i fixed it. i will be taking a look at fully updating this thread soon. more stuff and better overview.

 

this one was made for fun.. long ago since the first day i got my alienware
Hope you liked it (suited well with Blue AlienFX)

Hey guys,

I thought I'd share these desktop backgrounds that I made. Since the default Alienware backgrounds are only available in one color, I've tweaked them to make a variety of different colors. This is especially useful for people who like to have a background that matches their AlienFX color.

All images are 1920 x 1200.

After you follow the link, make sure you click on the image to make it full size before you save it.

Whiplash, I've added a link on Post#1 to your post here in the thread. Nice!

 

WOW, super awesome.

Cant agree more - very cool tweaks. Looks great with my current FX theme. Thanks for sharing!

 

Here I leave these wallpapers, I have not seen around here, are more than those seen in the picture I hope to enjoy.

Nice job in posting those tio_lucas. Thanks

 

Has anyone noticed if Stardock's deskscapes is inconpatable with IE9? IE9 crashs with it on two of my computers. IE9 works fine with the Alienware theme turned off.Just wondering.
