Help with Alienware Tactx Keyboard customization.

So I recently purchased the Alienware Tactx Keyboard. The command center/alienfx that it came with are severely dated, doesn't anyone know if there are updates available?



Also I've been attempting to edit the alienfx.ath files to makem y own custom themes with .xml notepad. Any tips you guys can give or anything? Is morphing posible through xml on these keyboards?



Also, if anyone can tell me the color codes alienware uses that'd be great because they're reminiscent of html, although not the same. Any help on furthering my customization and enjoyment of this keyboard would be much appreciated.

Bump for help, no where on the web hardly discusses these keyboards.

Try desktopreview... Generally speaking, we notebook users tend not to buy external keyboards. And have you tried looking for the update? Pretty sure its up on the Dell / Alienware site.

If you do not have an Alienware system, you will not be able to use the current version of Alienware's Command Center - Command Center will have a current version of AlienFX which is the app used to control the keyboard lighting.



As for the color codes, they are hex color codes. There are 8 digits - the first 2 are transparency and the remaining six are the hex color. You can edit these directly via the theme file (.ath).
