Two Xbox One consoles, one account; different themes on start screen?

iggypopbarker · Mar 4, 2015

Hi all. I've just bought a second Xbox One to have in my bedroom and have signed in with the same profile as the machine in the living room. The colours and background of the machine downstairs has been replicated on the new one, but I was hoping for some
variety. Is there any way to stop the Xboxes from copying one theme another across machines, so that I can have say a Halo themed start screen downstairs and a Sunset Overdrive one upstairs (for example)?

Cheers in advance

:)

you can't have two accounts running on one console at the same time unfortunatly, the only way is split screen but if you use two xbox's you can either link them up or play together over xbox live with two different accounts.

Is it possible to use multiple consoles via an Xbox Live Family Account?

I have two consoles. I currently have 2 seperate accounts for myself and another family memeber. One on each console. Is it possible to manage settings, activities, etc on two different consoles via one Xbox Live Family account?

Hi there,

have you tried to see what happens when you use an actual image from a storage device as a background and not an achievement image as background, does it replicate that one too?

Hi I Am Ultron 5,

Do you mean the home screen on your Xbox console? It works differently on the 360 and the One. The themes that were available on the 360 aren't available for the One. On the One at this time, you can change the background color through the Settings menu.

Hi there Brad, my name is Gerardo and I'm an Xbox player like you. I'll be happy to help.

The procedure described in the thread you shared refers to playing with two different accounts on two different Xbox consoles to share the games from one account with the other console in the same household.

Take in mind that it is not possible to play with the same account on two different consoles simultaneously, which is why, when you are playing on one, if you start a game on the other with the same account, the message you mentioned appears.

I hope this clarifies the information, and if you have more questions, please let me know.

Best regards.
