    Just a fun poll and wondering which colour is the most used/popular colours in AlienFX. I mainly have blue but it was green when it arrived to me.

    Red here, it gives it a more "kick -deadly" kinda look.

    standard color is blue, but I use the advance theme to change the color automatically when launching certain programs/games

    I haven't gotten my R3 yet, but I'm planning on either doing red, green, blue or white. I know.. I just covered the entire spectrum of color LOL.

    Can anyone comment on how the laptop looks with everything set to white? Or perhaps post a picture? :D

    white doesn't look all that flash: it's more of an off-white than a bright, crisp white (sounds like i am talking about wine here LOL).

    Haha, I know whatcha mean though... and dangit, I was hoping the white would be "crisp" and edgy. White usually looks good on LEDs.

    Variations of blue for 8 months until last week when I decided to try something different - orange. And I love it.

    Thank god AlienFX exists and allows us to change colors at any time.

    I'd hate to buy an expensive laptop, only to later regret my color choice on the LEDs :p

    I'm using a mixture of blues and white with an advanced theme at the moment, can see it sticking for a while to come.

    Otherwise I just muck around with it based on how I'm feeling (or whatever wallpaper I have).

    My favorite is green, but I like all of the colors besides pink and purple and will switch colors randomly.

    I can just never get past Red, it looks so brutal :)

    I would like to use white on some occasions but I just can't bring myself to it. It's not true white, more like a dirty, stained white.

    Blue is pretty cool as well though.

    blue = alien-ish
    red = more hardcore-ish

    dunno about the other colours though.

    Red hurts my eyes...

    I use green and the shade to the right of blue more serene colors.
