Can you even?

in the new command center there's an option to enable/disable zones during dark mode. try toggling it, then switch dark mode on.

My FN+ ALIENFX command doesn't toggle the lights on and off, & half the time the lights won't come on. Is the command center just glitchy in general and I should not have any worries?

This happened to me about a week ago. Try downloading or reinstalling the latest Command Center and try again. Hope it helps, mine's working perfectly now.

hi all

am not sure why this happened but i cannot find a fix.

my alienware fx (in right task bar) doesn't load up when i restart windows or load games ? due to this happening my keyboard and only the keyboard doesn't light up like it use to. i would have to manually run alienware fx for my keyboard to light up.
i have reinstalled command centre and osd.

anyone know why ??

I don't know the reason but can you try FN+F11. This is the M15X shortcut for turning on/off AFX. I don't know whatever it is the same or not in M17X but look for an F button with "ALIEN FX" text.

[a_beast33]

yeah its starting up by pressing fn f11 but my laptop use to do this automatically.

So the only problem I have is that when I restart, and the OS is booting up, only Keyboard 1 lights up (the left hand side portion of the keyboard). Nothing else lights up. But when I log in, the rest of the keyboard starts to light up. How Should I fix this?

[a_beast33]

ive just noticed that when i pull my power cable out it shuts off the lighting on the keyboard only, when i press fn-f11 it says its disabled ??

and now i get this message

The device you have selected is included in the current theme but AlienFX cannot detect this device on your system. Do you want to remove this device from the current theme?

Sorry for the thread Resurrection guys,
Im having (sort-of) the same thing with my M15X
On starting from cold the alien head and the 3 right hand segments of the keyboard light up but not the rest (this is before booting into the OS)
And then when in windows i can launch AlienFX controller to turn on the rest,
When i first got my laptop it didnt do this, all lights turned on blue before booting to OS - this all seems to be linked to the AlienFX board F/W updating - My question is, is it possible to get my full theme to be programmed into the AleinFX board so that it all runs before it hits the OS so i dont have to run the Alien-bloatware?

Cheers!
