XBOX ONE GETTING CUSTOMIZABLE THEMES, BACKGROUND PICS AND SCREENSHOTS

Spencer gets beat up on screenshots.

BY JENNA PITCHER Microsoft is working on introducing customizable themes, background pics and the ability to take in-game screenshots to the Xbox One, head of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer confirmed.

“I was told themes and background pics are something that we are working on and screenshots, you know people beat me up on screenshots,” Spencer said on a recent Inner Circle podcast episode. “The team has done a great job with the monthly updates, some of the things are just a prioritization and are a time in development.

"But I know that people like to customize the look of their dash," he added. "And I think both themes, backgrounds and screenshots are things I know people want so we are going to deliver on them. But we can’t give a when yet.”

It'd also be nice to have transparent tiles.

Agreed love the updates, hope they release a video soon.
Would also love to see the profile tab return. The one that showed the profile, gamer score, and number of friends online.

Looks like M$ is the Apple of the console market. "New" features that others have had for years.

If you want an answer, yes!!

MS is the Apple of console market, you win.

Anyway, is there a video of this update?

It is expected that Microsoft primary ability in the gaming industry is their Xbox Live OS should not be underestimated. They are an OS/Software company afterall. Great stuff.

Good news, now does Xbox One still not have voice messages? That should be next if so.

Hmmm they don't have that? I thought that could be done through the kinect (I'm pretty sure you can't use headphones for voice messages yet though).
