Xbox One November Update Custom Backgrounds: Check Out How They’ll Look on Your Dashboard

Xbox OneNewsGalleries

The Xbox One November update introduces the ability to use achievement art you unlocked as a custom background, in addition to a rather extensive palette of colors.

If you want to see how they’ll look on your Xbox One, below there are a few pictures I snapped from the screen of my own, on which I downloaded the update beta. You can also see the option to set your background directly from the achievement app and the palette of available colors in the settings menu.

They definitely look quite spiffy, don’t they?

Microsoft promised further customization options in the future. We’ll have to wait and see what they’ll be about. I know my first request will be the ability to select the degree of dimming of the background art.

It's a real shame that it looks quite bad due to the Xbox One's UI using almost the entire screen. I don't know if they'll let users use pictures they've made themselves, because if they do I'd just make a picture that fits with the UI.

Nintendo discussion?? Hehe.
I'm looking forward for some highly stylized themes not just pictures.

I'm glad they finally brought it out. Although I wish it allowed a transparency setting for the app tiles. Also, an option for border colors for the tiles would be nice as well. maybe they will add to this in a later update. I'm just happy to be rid of the dull black background.

can use any picture you want...

Ok, the article made me believe you can only use Achievement art and just colors.

Cool.

Well that explains why achievements are wallpaper sized pictures. They must have planned this from the start.
