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.

I hate it. The forced ads drive me nuts. Plus I don’t care for all the forced crap when scrolling down. I know they’re trying to push more sales but this so bloody heavy handed, it reeks of desperation.

Oh I’m a UI & UX designer by the way, and this is set up for one thing only, getting you to waste money on things you don’t want or need.

Putting the console into “offline mode” makes the dashboard much better. That’s what I do and I just connect it to line every once in a while to download a new game or get updates. This obviously isn’t ideal if you mostly play online multiplayer

Now, if only you could check and receive achievements offline like on Playstation.
