    I haven't found any nice themes for the new version of EVGA Precision X yet. You can make your own using the tool they provide.

    You can find the tool it in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\EVGA\PrecisionX 16\Skins" folder.

    I have been too busy to do anything fancy, but here's one I made for myself, also in tribute to @Prema, @svl7 and @johnksss for their selfless gift of firmware mods.

    Yes, that's right. Pretty easy if all you plan to do is a simple mod like the one I did. I edited the base image in Photoshop.

    When you import the skin with the tool it creates a new folder and you will find all of the images there. Once you are done with the mod and import the new skin successfully to Precision X, you can delete that folder because it is no longer used. All of the images used for the skin are packaged in the UXF file.

    When you place the modified base image in the work folder, you have to select the item from the tree menu on the left side, then browse to the modded image and click apply for the changes to be made. Keep the tool open and import the UXF before copying the modded base image to the work folder, browsing to it and applying the new image. It took me a bit to figure out that part and my changes were not being saved to the new skin. Be sure to change the file name on the first "info" item in the tree menu and click apply before exporting the modded ski or it will overwrite the original UXF skin.
