Plymouth, MI and Miami, FL - (October 13, 2006) – Alienware has teamed up with Stardock Corporation, the world’s leading desktop enhancement company, to create the new Xenomorph desktop theme. This theme allows Windows PC users to download and apply a slick new look to their desktop with just a few clicks.

Xenomorph, the most recent of many themes developed jointly, is available as a free download from the Alienware site at http://www.alienware.com/intro_pages/invader.aspx. Registration is required.

"Alienware and Stardock continue to work together to create the best possible user experience”, said Frank Azor, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Alienware’s Worldwide Product Group. “With the launch of the Xenomorph theme, we have partnered to offer users a very personal desktop environment, one that reflects how they work and play at their PC."

Stardock’s Vice President Angela Marshall stated, “Stardock Corporation’s Theme Manager technology is the perfect fit for this type of solution. We’ve recently created an entire division at Stardock dedicated to helping businesses brand the desktop and have effectively, as demonstrated with Alienware, created a one-stop-shop for all desktop customization needs. We look forward to continuing to work with Alienware in the future.”

Created for Alienware by Stardock Design and powered by Stardock's Theme Manager software, this is the most complete theme ever created for an OEM partner. The Theme includes:

  • WindowBlinds Visual Style
  • Custom Icon Set
  • Wallpaper
  • Desktop Gadget RSS Reader (requires a separate download)
  • ObjectDock OEM
  • Installer and all software needed to transform your desktop.
