I also was wondering how I sync the email lighting to my email account. I cant find that either... I can control the lighting for it just fine but I cant get it to change color when i get an email.

that did not work... but how do i sync the mail or even get tan outlook mail option?

Just click the Email tab on the left when in Advanced mode and then set a color scheme . Save and exit. It should use that color when you get emails and/or open the email app.

You can also click the ? on the bottom right for help with Alienware Command Center. If should answer most of your questions.

If you click the ? and expand the tab " What is advanced an mode ? " you will see this:

What is an event?

In advanced mode you can change the lighting behavior of your zones based on
events. An event is any occurrence that generates a response from AlienFX. You
can configure AlienFX to alert you when different events occur by changing the
lighting behavior of these events. The following are the different types of
events that are available depending on the device you select.

Default

The Default event is the main event for AlienFX. The Default event triggers
when you turn on your computer.

Sleep Mode

The Sleep Mode event is available only on certain desktops. The Sleep Mode
event triggers when your system goes into sleep mode. It ends when your system
leaves sleep mode. On some desktop models, the Sleep Mode event contains zones
that are disabled.

On certain desktop models the Sleep Mode event contains zones that will allow
only two Morph actions. You can modify these actions but you cannot remove them.
You cannot add actions to these zones.

New Email

The New Email event triggers when you receive a new email and ends when you
read the email. The New Email event is only compatible with Microsoft
Outlook.

Applications

The Applications event category allows you to add application events to
AlienFX. The application event triggers when you open the application or switch
to it from another application.





What gets me here is the Sleep mode. We know you have it because it will flash the yellow/black when you put it to sleep yet the sleep tab is not listed on yours. It also states that while you can not add to this tab you also can't remove things from this tab but you can modify them. So where is your sleep event tab that you must have since the sleep FX is working on your system.

Maybe on the x51 it's on but you can not modify it? /shrug

Flexible zones

The following are the attributes of flexible zones:

• Flexible zones are found only in advanced mode.
• In a flexible zone, you can add actions, edit actions,
  or remove actions.
• You can add a string of actions to a flexible zone.
  AlienFX will play these actions in sequence.
• You can loop a flexible zone or choose not to have it
  looped.
• You can assign the Color, Morph, or Pulse action to a
  flexible zone.
• For certain models, some events (such as the Sleep Mode
  event) contain flexible zones that are disabled.
