    Weird side effect from using transparency on Home Screen. Just me?


    I noticed something strange when moving the transparency slider to half for home screen. It makes Gears of War 5 "brighter" - I thought I was losing my mind but wife even confirmed. Sending report. Anyone else?

    Unable to use my local currency

    You cannot use the currency on the website (weird side-effect of the change away from Points), so this would be the reason for your errors.

    Let us know how you get on with doing it from the console. :)

    Xbox one wont load

    Is it just a black screen that you get? Not sure if it's the same issue, but I get this sometimes as well. The way that I get around it is that it will still let me press the Home button on the controller, which will bring up the side bar menu on the left
    side of the screen, over the black screen. I'll then select Home from the menu, and it will freshly load the Home screen on the Xbox and there is no more black screen. Hopefully that works for you as well.

    Home screen

    There is no way to get rid of the advertisements on your home screen. If you highlight an ad, press the menu button on your controller then click on show me less. But you can't do this on every ad. The only thing you can do is make tiles transparent
    and not to pin games to the home screen.

    Who Wants The Guide Button Back???

    We're not talking about the dash/home screen, just a simple way of quickly pulling up friends/msg's etc......etc... In game with having to go back to the home screen and fart around. Just like you could with the guide.

    On this note, I'd like to comment that I came to a realization recently. Bringing up the guide on the 360 just felt more like it should be that way, to me. The guide popped up
    in the center of the screen with a small dialog box that was quick and easy to navigate. You had quick access to most, if not all, features that I ever needed access to while I was gaming. Meanwhile, your game stayed full screen. This little fact made me feel
    as if the game remained my prominent focus and that the activity I needed the guide for was a brief, secondary interruption that was quickly and easily dismissed. To me, this felt natural and appropriate.

    The whole Home Screen idea does the opposite for me. I feel pulled from my gaming session and side tracked by whatever other activity needs my temporary focus. A full shift of
    focus, as opposed to a temporary distraction to make it short and sweet. Snapping isn't much better (to me). It distorts the screen and takes away the natural feeling of immersion in the game in that aspect. Not that I have anything against using the snap
    feature. I use it, just as minimally as possible.

    Maybe if they gave us the ability to set transparency of the snap pane and have it overlap (as an option for those who want it) might make it seem less intrusive, IDK.

    My Xbox One home screen fades to a black screen

    This happened to me about 1 hour ago. Just like you i can still access side menu and play games/apps ects. But home screen fades into black screen.

    Glad to know its not just me and on the bright side i can still play games/apps.
