    Are there more colors than what is on the color wheel in Alienfx?

    I was playing Mass Effect 3 and throughout the game many of the colors the fx turns are not on the color wheel.. There were a few I really liked and would enjoy using on my system but I can't for the life of me figure out how to set them up if there is.

    The color wheel has all of the available colors. If a color is not presented there, it's not an option - you'll need a MOD otherwise.

    Edit: The post below me contains a Mod that has additional colors. :cool:

    That's actually really cool. Not noticing too much of a slowdown while using it. But yeah, this shows completely different colors than whats on the color wheel, same with some of the colors I've noticed in Mass effect 3. ME3 has a very nice pale blue that looks almost white but without the pink tint normal white has.

    You can also set it so that the lights on the computer react with the colors on your screen. So if your online and the background turns blue.... your keybaord will too. It works with some games and some video players too.

    Yeah just tried that screen capture style one, very cpu intensive is the only problem, I will probably jsut use that program if I feel like I want a specific colour. Thanks for the discovery, dont think many people know about that program tbh.

    I thought that was the only way to use it. Is there a way to use it to just set the lights to be one static color?

    Yes, I dont have the program on my laptop right now to say exacly how, but if you go in one of the tabs allows you to set static colors.

    Search through all the tabs, it should be in there somewhere.
