A few folks have asked about themes and the new Xbox experience. Specifically, how do themes fit in with the new experience. Here is a screenshot that will give you an idea of they could work when the new experience is available later this year. Here are a few more photos to give you an idea of how things could work in other areas of the new dashboard.
Sweet we will all have this image currently unavailable on our dashboard :)
"This photo is currently unavailable"? Interesting theme! Sounds good though
Photo currently unavailable.
Ohhh... that looks awesome, i'm really liking that
also I luv that new Gears 2 theme
we need to boycot this new "look"! say no to wii clones!
So we lose like 50% of a picture we paid for? It would be cool news if themes were FREE like they should be...
i cant believe its e3 and we have one crappy demo so far, too human (yes i think its crap) is there anymore on the way nels ????
I don't like the grey backgrounds to the different slides for the games or the grey bit at the bottom, please get rid of emor let us change them in some way like let the background cover the whole area or let us put the carbon trims on it like we can with the blades at the moment.
Just 1 picture ? Where's the other 3 ?
I actually like the new dash reminds me of iTunes, which isnt a bad thing, but seems like they will have to redesign themes so we can actually see them.:) I like the clarity around what is showing of the theme too.
What about all the themes that we already purchased. Will they work with this new layout? Love the new layout, by the way!
umm yeah that doesn't look good at all. do we lose half of our gamer pictures too?
I can't wait for the fall update, looks great WOW. Themes look sweet!!
This is good, but you should make the themes free because we are losing more than 3/4 of the themes we bought.
I still don't understand why people are complaining about the redesign. Let's wait and see EXACTLY how everything works out before we condemn Microsoft of robbery here (even though they DO see fit to run ads on a service that we're PAYING for...).
Lose some of the pic, but get to actually see the rest without words and ads all over it? Much, much better. That won't stop the crying and the ballyhooing though.
Looks Good, in the current dash depending on the blade most of the image isn't visible. With this new one the top 40-50% is clear and fully viewable.
Love It!
They also integrate into the blades that you can still access as well.
I'm glad that the themes aren't going away entirely, that would set off a hell of a firestorm.
I'll withhold judgement on the rest until we see more.
Very nice...
Though I suspect Shapstick is now going to slammed with FR's...
@Vinclive:
As it stands I the are covered most the time by stuff (in all but the Main blade, frankly), so I think we'll actually be able to see more of them now...
I think that after a while of inactivity the buttons all dissapear and then the theme is completly visible.
Ok, THAT would be cool, simmaster...
As long as this eye-candy doesn't make the new dashboard fail like Aero did to Vista I'll be happy.
looks great for me :)
I am very much looking forward to this new Xbox Experience. It looks very exciting!
