    Hey guys. So I've got an Alienware 15, and I've been finding the fade in the AlienFX to be glitchy, especially when adjusting the action duration. As a test sample, I made a very simple fade from black to lime green. With the action duration set to 3 seconds, it fades fine, but as soon as I lower it, it jumps from black to white to purple and then to green, no fade. I noticed that the purple is the same purple that I had it set to previously, so I'm not sure if that might have something to do with it. Tried both modifying and saving an existing theme, and created a fresh theme.

    Anyone seen the issue before? Thanks.

    I had the same problem, especially when you try to have it fade faster, the slow tempo fade work fine though. And I tried with almost every colours and all of them showing the same problems.

    I used to own the previous gen M14xR1 and the fade and stuff all working as intended, so I'm not if it's the new design or it's the software.
