    Hi guys..sorry for the noob question that i have here..

    How to use the alienware icon that i've downloaded from the first page..??

    The file is in a zip file..so just extract it..and change all the icons manually from personalize menu..? Is there any other way so all of the icons automatically applied to all icons in the system..?

    thanks in advance guys..! :)

    Due to excessive hotlinking from other websites taking 90% of my monthly bandwidth in less than 5 days, I moved the album to here.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Hey guys, Im mainly a lurker, but I decided to try my hand a screen capture and mild editing for wallpapers. I was looking around for a good shot of the fire alienware head and couldn't find one without the other elements. So I screen capped the screen saver and added the logo, and BAM...Here we are!

    http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m133/hawaiidood/AlienwareFire-2.jpg

    (Click link, zoom in, Save as)

    I also liked the other Screensaver and wanted a wallpaper to go along with it, but I didnt care for the blue one that is on the front page. So I simply screen capped the screensaver, inverted colors and added the alienware logo. I figured black and white was a little bit more universal than light blue. And I mean no disrespect, I like that wallpaper very much. I can also invert the wallpaper so the Alien is black and the background is white If you prefer. Lemme know what you think!!

    Be sure to exclude IE9 from mycolors. It doesn't play nice.

    hey everyone,

    just a little something. here are some of the original wallpapers in different hues, it looks cool to put them in a slideshow for the wallpaper for windows 7

    or you can go and put them according to your lighting.

    have fun

    He he he sorry xD yeah thanks buddy nice concept.

    That's just what he did xD isn't? Though I was terribly dissapointed when it came to my original red wallpaper cause yours are brighter/more contrast/shadows highlited or a mixed of all the above xD I couldn't bring mine to yours... So I had to made my own :( which would include my own.
    (though I did like your colors so I changed mine around but with a known settings that I could reproduce this time ). Changing the hue doesn't change the rest that's definately a nice catch there :) so thanks TC :p

    My son wants to use the Alienware Wallpaper on his MacBook. I tried downloading it from Dell, but it's an .exe file. Where else can I get the official wallpaper?

    Thanks!

    I remember using the MyColors suite of desktop themes and extracting the skins... Invader was my favorite but came encrypted so there was no way to edit it myself :D

    This is posted in http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...ook-feel-after-clean-install-windows-7-a.html thread... I think the "Invader" screen you mentioned may be included that that collection.

    I'd like to share a wallpaper I made with community. I plan to make different versions (i.e. different materials/reflections on the head, different background colors, different angles, effects, ect) but right now this is the only one completed. Requests for different versions will be considered if I find them reasonable to do (or have enough time to render).

    The images can be downloaded from my deviantart.

    Thank God not another post about how deleted your wallpapers in you OS re-installation (By the way the links that get posted to Dell's support page don't work).

    I like it, Minimalist, yet it still fits the Alienware theme. Your post was something original that took effort to create. Here have some rep.

    Well I was looking to my Alienware wallpapers folder and I thought that I should share them. I have been saving this since I get my laptop. There are many good creations in there. So I hope you like them.

    NOTE: I know that there are many more, but I just saved the ones I liked.
