    Okay,

    I was wondering if we could get an interaction of the lights with msn. You're propably thinking... No not possible, but surely with Messenger Plus! Live (and a custom made script) it would be.

    So we could set it up so that if we get a message - it flashes red. If someone signs in it fades in blue, and then fades out etc. You get the idea. Would be pretty **** cool. And it is defo possible, there's no hardware limitation to this (apart from maybe the fade)...

    Thanks :)

    Can you write your own script to write to registry ? My AuroraLightsFX supports monitoring on registry value for any change and adjust the lights accordingly.

    So this is what you need,
    1) AuroraLightsFX (aka Color Wheel) installed
    2) A script or whatever it takes to change the registry value whenever you want to change the color to whatever.

    and its done...

    ...my life is really getting out of control.
