Alienware is probably best known for their high-end gaming computers and notebooks which always come in a futuristic great looking design. The AlienGUIse Theme Manager is custom version of My Colors from Stardock that can transform the appearance of Windows tremendously.
Five Alienware themes are available after installation which can transform the Windows graphical user interface into futuristic looking interfaces. By default every aspect of the interface is changed which includes the background image, the system icons, color schemes, fonts and menu layout.
A click on the advanced link during setup gives the user the option to prevent elements from being installed. He could for instance opt out of installing the wallpaper image or the icon set. Usage itself is pretty straightforward. All five themes are available after installation.

A click on a theme loads a preview of it in the right pane. If you want to apply it click the apply button which will load another window with the advanced options I have mentioned earlier on. If you like Sci-Fi this could be something you definitely would want to try out. The icons and color schemes are top notch although I prefer lighter colors over dark ones used by the themes. Only the wallpapers seem to fall behind but it is not a problem to add your own custom wallpaper after applying the theme.

Used this for quite a while, actually. The Xenomorph theme was my favorite, especially since it went along great with my wallpaper that I had (AvP wallpaper I made, heh). Now I use the patched UXTheme.dll, and use a skin from there, that's fairly similar. I did, however, keep the icons from the AlienGUI, because it looked boring without custom icons, heh.
 
Wow i remember this about 2 years ago when they first released it. Surprised that someone at that site decided to paot about it now. Must be a slow news day.
