  1. Making the UI / Notification system about 90% better


    so i've had this idea for a long time after friends telling me the one notification system is really annoying. a perfect fix for this specific situation would be to move all notifications to the top right hand corner of the screen, this includes friends
    online, any messages and achievements as well. to access the menu should be a button press of the left thumb stick. this leaves the xbox home button still available. .. once the left thumb stick has been pressed the notification system opens a side window
    as to not disrupt your movie/game as much.

    :)

    It's August: Does Microsoft intend to fix the issues with X1 anytime this year?

    I can say that there are some things that I don't like about the UI, but I think that MS will get around to fixing them. Personally, I'm mainly happy that they are listening to us, and making changes to the system. I believe that the X1 will continue to
    get better and better over time.

    New Xbox One User Interface

    I find the Xbox 360 UI much more user friendly and youth friendly. The Xbox 1 UI looks like it's for middle aged business people lol. I can't wait for Windows 10 to come out. A Windows 10 UI has gotta be better than a Windows 8 UI. It's Thursday evening
    for me and I'm downloading a system Update for my Xbox 360. Should be finished in a few minutes. Even 5 year olds can use Xbox 360's UI. But don't get me started with Xbox 1's UI. Ok it's not terrible, but a bunch of square boxes and snap this and that; I
    just love Xbox 360's UI and I ain't the only one here who has likes and dislikes about Xbox 1's UI. Sorry if we compare Xbox 360 to Xbox 1. But someone needs to know and learn what we like on Xbox 360 so that they can make Xbox 1 a better place. And don't
    get me started on Xbox 1's notifications. When friends come online and invitation notifications, big fat square box appears and it ONLY appears in the bottom centre of the screen. It gets in the way when playing Minecraft and other games. Where as Xbox 360
    has better algorithms and it displays notifications on the bottom centre, bottom left, bottom right, top left, top centre, or top right of the screen so if your playing apps or games, it automatically figures out where to display it so it doesn't intrude in
    your experience.

    Making the UI / Notification system about 90% better

    A lot of games use the left thumbstick for running when pressed now. However, all ideas should be posted to the feedback forums.

    New X1 exclusive...The waiting game.

    lol bro,the xb1 can do 1080p, and the kinect is awesome, i actually thought it was stupid at first but i actually enjoy it. The UI is great,instead of complaining about the UI why don't put feedback on their site and help make it even better? I personally
    think the UI is great so far, in the future it'll be better.

    New UI as of 10/11/2017 is awful. (Community Tab inparticular, Friends List...)

    Apparently, it is a "Service" where spamming us with regular "updates" is "normal". The UI has been the main gripe about Xbox One's UI. A lot of kids don't like it too! (people under 18). As experience with even my friends. I have a 13 year old friend from
    the US who says he doesn't like Windows 8. I've met people in COD BO2 who don't like it either.

    Take a look at 360's UI. It's way more user friendly and it looks like a kiddy UI. Xbox One's UI looks like it's for mature business people who are into geometry and squares (lots of them). People who when you get an achievement notification, don't mind
    that notification being laggy as heck and a big fat box that appears over your gameplay. Xbox 360's UI notification isn't a fate notification and is faster at popping up and getting lost. And it appears in different corners of the screen so that it doesn't
    obscure important in game text displays.

    Can you play games while playing music in the background, on Xbox One? An Xbox One is slower at booting than an Xbox 360, and the 360 has weaker hardware yet the UI still manages to be slower than the 360.

    The Xbox One X will have more processing and better hardware power than the PS4 Pro. It will also have a 7200rpm HDD and 8GB flash. The original and S models only have a fusion 5400rpm HDD. This sort of power ought to make UI processing quicker. If it doesn't,
    it's the software at fault. It's taken them 4 years and they still can't get it right.
