Please allow us to make the My Games & Apps tile transparent again.

can someone please tell me how to make the tiles transparent please i have set my custom background but cannot not seem to find how to do this with my tiles

Cheers guys

I'm having the same issue and reported it along with a screenshot. The recently used games and apps are still solid even after selecting mostly transparent in the options menu. All other tiles prior to the latest update are transparent

Transparent tiles would be fine. Actually, I remember making a comment about tile transparency and how it would make themes easier to see, quite awhile back, regarding the 360 dashboard.

The 360 dashboard showed just a little bit of the tiles for the next 'tab' on the left or right of the screen. Those tiles had transparency... if I had to guess, I'd say about 50%. They looked fine and even though there wasn't much of them showing, it was
easy to see them as well as the fact that they were 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.

There is already the concept of transparent tiles implemented by the Xbox One. It may not be what you envisioned and you may have better suggestion for future updates to this feature. Head over to the Feedback forums and add your own take on the tile transparency
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!
