LOL. Look what you started Squil. It is like we time warped back to November.

Twesterm beat me to it. Just hit the guide button.

i just hit the glide button i find its much easier using the direct older features..

I actually love the spotlight and inside xbox channels, has some good stuff in the uk, i hated the blades interface, and no, there is no way to get the blades back, the system will only update with newer versions, not older ones.

blades needed help, but not the boondoggle that is NXE i wouldn't mind if i could set it to always open on games and get rid of all the sections i dont want.....

or the other option the submenu that comes up when you hit the center button is a cleaned up blades which is worked out close to perfectly.... I want that as my default os view 

if downgrade to the blades you cant be connected online after otherwise you'll be forced to upgrade once you boot up..

One thing I would like to add to the mini blades is, customization, I don't like that ugly dull flat gray color to it, I'd like to be able to change colors and better yet add backgrounds to the mini blades ..

My Mini Blades option would be like this:

1) Add or change to different colors ..
2) Option to change the background
3) The option to make the mini blades smaller or larger by pressing A to enlarge B to shrink after its been enlarged..
4) Make the mini Blades just like the original blades with all the customization in a smaller version instead..

I would like it and is not a bad idea imo..

Why would you want to? I used the blades at a mates recently and compared to NXE it now feels horrible. Very cluttered and complex, compared to quick and easy NXE.

What about partially downgrading.
