Choosing a photo for a background

diagoro(2) · Feb 6, 2015

Nice to see this option was added, but it's not working.

I placed several photos on a flash drive, and navigated the options menu as specified in the tutorial.

When trying to select a photo for a background, it only plays (with the play icon over it) the photo, but never gives option to actually use it as a background.

Definitely need the option of themes, a photo, an achievement picture or a different colour for the background.

As Shaggy2000 said, some achievement pictures have a lot of detail and would make a great gamer picture or background.

When you say it just "plays," are you highlighting the picture and pressing A? To set as the background you need to highlight a picture, press the Menu (old start) button, then choose Set as Background. Is that not working?

You have to open the picture so its fullsize then use the menu button on the fullsize picture then the option will pop up.

This would be cool, they do have it where you can set screenshots as your background and also you can edit photos on a computer and plug a usb in a put photos on that to use as your background.

Hello cherrybomb006,

When you go to customize profile, then edit avatar, in the top left corner, you will see the little lines for the start button on the controller, click this, then you will see the option to take a photo, click this.

Here you will have the options to choose animations and background. Once you have the one you want, hit the select on the controller. (The two little squares) A photo preview will pop up and you will have three options, choose save as gamer pic.

If this is not what you see, please let me know what you see.

Thank you!

Sure there is. Where do you think they get a great deal of their pictures from?
