    So i just got my new aliware m11x a few days ago and I love it. starcraft II on here is amazing.

    For some reason the installed alien theme for windows 7 (which i really liked) has disappeared and now the basic windows 7 theme is on here and i dont like it.

    I have already tried changing the theme in the control panel but it is just different variations of the basic windows 7 theme.

    How do I get this cool looking theme back on my m11x!!??

    please help

    Try and goto the dell support page to download the theme to reinstall it again and see if that works.

    is there anywhere i can go to get free alienware desktop themes that are compatible with windows 7?

    i have only found sites that you have to pay for these themes.

    Type in Stardock in the Start button search box and choose the theme in the Stardock software designed for Alienware.

    I think the one that came with your pc is the only one officially created. I did that search a long time ago so I dont know if they made another one.

    There is only one official theme that should of came with your system unless you chose not to install it, it's available under the applications on the dell driver downloads list if you don't have it installed.
