    Might want to cut the little piece on top of the mouse pad, but otherwise looks great.

    The pieces were actually part of a skin set that came pre-cut. They're not perfectly even, but that tends to happen with vinyl (it's very difficult to get it perfectly straight). There were actually skins for both the touchpad and mouse button, but I didn't want to cover them up. Also, there was one skin for the LCD bezel, but I didn't apply for the reason that it covered the alienware logo. And I thought that the glossy LCD bezel looked fine as is.

    Get Zmatrix - it 's free and better than a screensaver - it's an active wallpaper, I use it all the time, it's just like your screensaver pic - but your icons and windows are over the top of it. Set your wallpaper to 'none' first though.

    Hi everyone,
    The green wallpaper was actually created. Unfortunately, Alienware doesn't offer too large of a variety of wallpaper choices, so I had to get creative for it to match the matrix theme. Also, for all those wondering, the skin set is about $50 and is easily found on ebay (along with several other choices of themes). Like I had mentioned in a previous post, they are vinyl, so they don't fit perfectly. Also, I didn't apply the LCD bezel skin simply because it covered the Alienware logo (I'm proud to finally have one and would hate to cover it). There was also a touch pad skin and mouse button skin, but you can see the logic behind not applying those (touchpads don't work well covered). However, all in all, I think it's a nice blended theme. If I had added the other skins, it may have begun to clash.
