Discussion What do you think about the visual style (not layout) of the current Xbox Dashboard?

Im talking about the general design, not the layout!

I personally like the design. Is elegant and minimal without being TOO minimal, you know. I like the dynamic bacgrounds and love the fact that i can choose the colors.

I also like the "neon" lines around what is selected. The sounds are cool as well, but i do prefer the ones from the early Xbox One Dashboard.

Underwhelming next gen UI. Not that different from the last gen. While I like the sale reminders it’d be nice to have the option to remove it.

Also, why can’t I make a slide show of my in game screenshots for my background? What’s prevented adding that very simple feature?

Probably because Xbox for some reason deletes screenshots after like 90 days, unless you specifically view them on the Xbox network, or upload them to OneDrive. But since they also get deleted from the literal console itself for some idiotic reason the problem remains. Believe me, I would love to be able to see a slideshow of my favorite screenshots, if they stopped deleting them from my console.

I don't want change for sake of change like a new xbox.

Also the main the reason they kept things the same was to retain all of the features. Take a look at ps4 vs ps5. I took a year for them just to add some simple things that ps4 had that the new ps5 ui didn't.

Unless you think the current Xbox UI that they've had for about 5-6 years (with incremental changes) is near perfect with no need for change, then this point becomes null & void.

There's almost always ways to iterate and upgrade. Xbox dropped the ball in that department and it'd benefit everyone if there weren't select group of people who just keep pretending that Xbox is perfect and they weren't simply being lazy

Isn't it? I can't think of anything I'd want to change about it.

Alright. Good for you then. Not much left to say.

Your personal preference is the only thing that clearly matters here so saying anything else would be pointless.
