Any idea why they have been shipping systems with it for the past month but don't have it for download? Is it really that hard to make a link?

I take it this will be the Win7 version? Will it be possible to use the previous Alienware skins in addition to BREED?

They should if written for Win 7, but we are not going to validate them.

Don't confuse their Breed with our version. Ours will be unique to Dell.

That's the funny thing. On the AlienGUIse website, it says that BREED is for WinXP only, yet it definitely works with Win7.

Awesome! Can't wait.

I assume ya'll are usin' Stardock's WindowBlinds so will 3rd party themes work with it as well? How will the program update & what kind of license are we looking at?

I figure this maybe the slow up...but their questions worth asking...

Until it's released, I have no idea.

Don't confuse their Breed with our version. Ours will be unique to Dell.

Unique to Dell?

I guess that means it won't work?

Unless I'm mistaken, they don't HAVE the new theme manager up. They have the VISTA and the XP AlienGUIse up. No Windows 7.

Alternately, there are users who have uploaded their own versions. These may well work, but they're also not supported by Dell or Alienware. They have not "officially" released it yet.

The technical term for this, RSL_MONGOOSE, is called "user error". If you had waited for an official Windows 7 version to come out, perhaps you would not be in such a situation. Mind you, it's taking way too long to come out, but that's another subject entirely.

I actually downloaded the same one that RSL_Mongoose did here along with many others: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R272623&SystemID=Alw_dt_Area_51&servicetag=6VCTNL1&os=W764&osl=en&deviceid=19254&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=25&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=402595

I had the same issue, but I did a Windows Repair and it seems to fix it. And I also got the Administrator Privelages message upon reboot and would not allow me to access the application no matter what I did. This is the same one Chris posted here: http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/p/19336750/19713211.aspx#19713211   They are all the same thing.

And according to my Area 51s download page, it says the new theme manager was uploaded yesterday. And it does say Windows 7 x64 bit capable, and doesnt even mention XP or Vista. So I dont think this is "user error". I think there is a bug in the application that needs to be fixed. It would be wise for you not to start blaming others with "user error" because others like myself are having the same problems.

Maybe you should read a little bit here: http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/p/19333668/19713192.aspx#19713192
