  1. Custom background is Terrible and Transparency is worthless


    It’s frustrating to see options to add a custom image and yet the console is dumber than a cell phone from 2005. There’s no option to fit it to the screen, move the image or crop. This is basic. I have messed with aspect ratios and cropping an image and yet nothing works. The Xbox keep zooming in on just the dead center of the image. The only solution I can think of is to take my image and photoshop a ton of black on all sides of it just to make my picture so big that when the Xbox zooms in on the center all you’ll see is the image I want. Also the transparency is worthless. It literally does nothing. If I can finally get the background to somehow work it’ll still be covered by 50% of the bullshit on the screen. Let me just see my background without these adds and games I don’t care about. People pay $500+ dollars on a console to see adds. Really? That’s pretty crappy. I had to use the question flair because nothing else was appropriate. So here’s my question. Why so shit?

    Background and color

    Transparency only works when you have custom or achievement art selected as background, Try setting an achievement as a background then change back to solid background colour of your choice .

    My previous games and apps stay solid and will not go back to the settings "Mostly Transparent "

    A solution can be found here (relevant parts included for your convenience): http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/console/change-xbox-one-background

    Adjusting the tile transparency allows you to better view your custom background through the tiles on the screen. To adjust this:

    1. Scroll left on the Home screen to open the guide.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Select AllSettings.
    4. In the Nav pane, select Personalisation, and then in the right pane, select My colour & background.
    5. Select Tile transparency on the My colour & background page.
    Choose the transparency value that you prefer (Solid, Mostly solid, Partly transparent or Mostly transparent).

    The following additional information is taken from
    news.xbox.com/.../xbox-one-xbox-one-february-system-update
    :

    Custom backgrounds and tile transparency – We’ve added tile transparency to the Home tiles to make your background images more visible. As a reminder, to set a custom background, go to Settings > My Xbox > My
    background
    . Note: some items can’t be made transparent due to usage rights/restrictions for certain images.



    Let us know if the above solution does not work.

    or find the idea that best describes what changes you would like to see made to this feature. If you find an idea similar to what you want out of the feature you can just add your own comments to the idea to help further explain your vision. Cheers!
