Abstract: Various embodiments for configuring the color of a mobile computing device cover are described. In one embodiment, a mobile computing device may comprise a cover including a light-emitting diode (LED) array comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The mobile computing device may include a processor comprising an application for receiving preferences from a user for illuminating the cover and an LED array control module to generate color control signals based on the preferences. The color control signals may control the amount of current and voltage supplied to individual LEDs of the LED array for achieving certain and relative intensities of light emitted by the LED array corresponding to a color selected from a plurality of available colors.
