    Hey,

    Well thanks to vikas we have been able to turn off all our lights with a patch and a program. Well I got bored today, so I started exploring the xml files that are created when you make a skin. I found out you can manually edit the colours (as I expected). So I looked around, and set all the colours to black. And it worked!

    I'll upload the theme file, it's called darkness. And when applied will turn EVERYTHING! off.

    Hope it helps, saves having different programs and such :)

    Just copy out the theme from in the zip
    :)

    Have you tried the "TurnOffLights" oh they copied this feature in New CC, Systray Icon->Right Click->Go Dark.

    BTW hopefully by the end of week there is a new Update coming... keep your eyes open

    from both, mine might take some time. I was able to do some more reverse engineering on AlienFX and send raw commands to it. Hopefully that will be little faster in switching colors.
