    I'm sure some of you have already figured this out, but I thought I'd go ahead and post it here if anyone else was trying to figure out how to do it. :)

    1. Go ahead and create a new advanced theme (control+N, select Advanced)
    2. Choose a tempo (you can use anything, it doesn't have an effect on being able to do this or not)
    3. Now, press the button circled in RED and then the button circled in GREEN

    4. Choose Yes
    5. Now, press the button circled in RED




      [​IMG]




    6. Without clicking ANY of the colors on the color palette, hit the button circled in RED and then press OK





      [​IMG]




    7. Then, check the box that says "LOOP" next to whatever part you were changing the color of and press apply
    8. Congratulations, now you have a very unique M17x (as if it wasn't already rare enough!) :D

    NOTE: I have no idea how to do this for the Alienhead/Power Button/Touchpad/Media sections.     Hopefully someone will find out!

    Could you post a pic of what the keyboard looks like white?

    The white in the speaker section is a little pinkish... But this really is a funny bug in the alienFX! Guess Dellalienware didn't like the white and left it out.

    Anyhow. Nice find.

    It's because white was going to be in it but they couldn't get it to display properly

    Nothing wrong with being sensitive
