Tip: Use XB1 Achievements as Wallpaper

Galactic Geek · Jul 5, 2014

I almost missed it, but in a recent video that Major Nelson did regarding the new changes to your profile page here on
xbox.com (which can be seen
), he explains briefly that when you view your XB1 achievements here on the site, you can click the image of the achievement to look at an HD version of the image which can then be
used as wallpaper (skip ahead to 0:50 in the video to hear Major Nelson mention it). Just looking at some of the images from Titanfall alone shows just how good many of these can be for backgrounds, although some games/apps may not really be worth using either.
Just think though, that for every achievement you earn, you've got a really cool desktop background for your PC, tablet, or smartphone.

Enjoy and share with us which achievement images you'd like to use for your backgrounds by linking us to the image.

XBOX ONE Achievements pics use for wallpaper, would be cool

I think it would be cool if we where able to use the pics from the game Achievements as our XBOX ONE backround wallpaper

Halo Reach Pictures that u may like for wallpaper

These actually aren't bad shots at all. My favorite is Wander for some reason. Not going to use any as wallpaper though, as when I do use Reach pics as wallpaper I like for the pics to be of my Spartan.

Unfortunately, it appears only games are available for this; not apps.

The image I would've used was from the Every Street United app, which features a grey background with a rainbow-colored globe of the Earth. I can't find a very good image due to the above, so this

link from TrueAchievements will have to suffice.

I won't use that feature, I might, if, that could be done on the Xbox One, as for desktops ? Most of my pictures come from my pictures folder, where I have accrued some awesome pictures over the years.

With regards to IE10 can i add & save bookmarks as an option? Can i watch streaming sites using IE on XBox One?

Whilst i'm playing a game can i share what i'm doing to Twitter using the controller?

The Xbox One is DLNA-compliant is this correct? So, if i find an app to make my phone or tablet as a media server will the XB1 (in theory) find my files and stream them over the XB1's Media Player?

If i find a nice wallpaper over at Bing or Google is there an option within IE to make that wallpaper as my console's wallpaper? And Is there a way to look for more wallpapers using the Xbox One?

Im pretty sure if you don't have a wallpaper set, it just cycles through based on activity like the most recent game you just played, the most recent achievement you have just unlocked, or as you mentioned a console in the background that could be the
new Series X. I am only guessing since Ive manually changed my wallpaper. Fun Fact: when you view achievements, they come with their own unique wallpaper that you can set as the default home wallpaper or you can upload your own through your profile.
