Dell XPS M1730 lightup for nighttime....anyway to change the color theme?
Alright so I have this M1730 and I noticed that on the windows media player instead of doing the weird designs and other animations during music or listening to something there is Dell XPS LightFX option. So when you start listening to music or anything all the lighting flashes on and off, and the XPS on the touch pad turns a deep red.
I liked the Red coloration more then the current Light Blue coloration of the XPS and other colors it showed as well. The speakers turned red, and it looked really sweet. But there doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to change the coloration even though this showed its possible. Any idea where the control for the coloration of the nighttime lighting is? Any help is appreciated!

you use Dell Quickset for dealing with the LED's and other stuff that you can just do anyway without quickset or you can boot up lappy during dell boot logo press F2 or F12 and go into Bios setup
Quickset will allow you flexibility to play with your leds but the bios is a once only change to any of the colors in every part of laptop if you want a fixed color I would use that or if you want flexibility and still have a carnival use quickset.
I dont use quickset or any of the LEDs TBH I like the option that theire there though mostly I leave it OFF.

Accessing QuickSet via the BIOS is one option.
But you can also access QuickSet after the system has booted into Windows, by opening QuickSet > System > Gaming Options > LED Effects ;)

????
The method you suggest is to access QuickSet is via the BIOS.
The method I suggest is how to access QuickSet after the system has booted to the desktop.
They're completely different methods, so there's no "eco" (/echo)?

There is no quickset in Bios.
Quickset is windows only as you know
I mentioned both methods.

If it had nothing to do with answering the question, why did you mention the BIOS at all?
It simply confused matters... especially the bit where you said: “... the bios is a once only change to any of the colors in every part of laptop...”
If that doesn't suggest you can change the LED colours in the BIOS, I don't know what does?
And please point out to me exactly where in the post (repeated below) you mention[ed] accessing QuickSet at the desktop, because I can't see it anywhere myself?
