    the only way i could think of is to rewire the speakers lights. not really helpful, but thats all i could think of.

    Yeah, I dont think the speakers were made to display individual colors. You'd probably have to do what Ralo90 said.

    Completely untrue. Search for alienfxlite, you can control anthing you like, its way better than command center.

    You can also edit the theme .xml file manually. Takes some poking around the .xml however once you identify the correct speaker zone, its an easy change.

    To edit the theme file, I suggest using: Notepad++ | v5.6.8
