Using none AlienFX selectable colours

1. Take a screenshot of Alien FX showing the zones and their labels

2. Create a new basic theme using one colour for each zone (except power)

3. Close AlienFX

4. Navigate to: C:\Users\*InsertUserNameHere*\Documents\AlienFX\Themes

5. Right click on the theme & open with notepad

6. Press CTRL+F and search for: ZoneID

7. You should get to a section that looks something like this:

<Actions>​

<ZoneID>2</ZoneID>​

<ActionID>2</ActionID>​

<ActionTypeID>3</ActionTypeID>​

#FF5000F0

<Color2>#FF000000</Color2>

<Duration>0</Duration>​

8. Understanding the above.

2 this refers to the zone in are picture from step one

<ActionID>2</ActionID> not interested in this

<ActionTypeID>3</ActionTypeID> not interested in this

<Color1>#FF00F000</Color1> this is first colour in the circle/power light option

<Color2>#FF000000</Color2> this is the second colour in the circle/power light option

<Duration>0</Duration> not interested in this​

9. To set the colour you need to find its 6 digit hex code I use this site:

10. once you have the code for example #5000F0 you need to put in between the hash symbol & the start of the code, FF so are example would change from:

#5000F0 to #FF5000F0​

11. you then put his in the <Color1>#FFXXXXXX<Color1> section so are edited section from above would become:

<ZoneID>2</ZoneID>

<ActionID>2</ActionID>

<ActionTypeID>3</ActionTypeID>

<Color1>#FF5000F0</Color1>

<Color2>#FF000000</Color2>

<Duration>0</Duration>​

12. repeat this for all the zones used by the laptop (on my laptop there are only nine so I do zones 1-9)

13. Save & close the custom theme

14. reopen AlienFX and the custom theme should now be available
