Xbox one dashboard redesign ?

I really like those ideas galactic i do beleive that in time they will implement at least some of those abilities at some point. i tried to go on internet explorer and take ascreenshot and try and set it for my back ground and it wouldnt let me

 

Since joining Xbox late 2010 I've noticed they've redesigned the UI a couple of time. And Windows 10 comes out late this year.

I love the current Xbox 360 UI. I'm not really a fan of the Windows 8 UI. I think it's too boxy and snap-py. Microsoft is really listening to feedback for PC versions for Windows 10 and rolling out the return of the Start Menu which Windows 7 has and I love.

Microsoft does need to make changes and improvements to the UI and OS. After all, it is the essential piece of software which helps protects against viruses, malicious activity, and to reduce problems experience with Party Chat and loading friends list.
It also has to be kid/youth friendly too and something which little kids can use without continual assistance. Xbox 360's UI is like this. It's not just middle aged adults on here. I don't mean to age discriminate. Rolling out new features and keeping them
can slow down OS performance. Just look at the performance speed wise for starting/shutting down hardware between Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Vista rolled out a tonne of new features and it's still crappy compared to Windows 7.

What I would like improved is accessing messages/friends/achievements quicker. A UI/OS performance shouldn't be solely based of your ISP speed. Sure Friends use active tiles. I'm glad you can add what you want to the Dashboard background. And please, try
to make things less boxy. But if they can have the UI/OS performance as good or near that (better) like how 360's current UI is which runs on much less RAM and weaker hardware, than that's good.

Xbox 1's UI is better than what it was like at Launch - By Far! At Launch, it was taking around 45 seconds just to open each app, 45 seconds for Friends, 45 seconds for Messages. Now it only takes around 2-10 seconds. So there is a software performance improvement
there. I don't listen to peps on here who say "ITS YOUR INTERNET". Many peps have ADSL and not VDSL or Fibre Broadband. Even being on ADSL, my Windows 7 OS on my HP Pavilion dv6 is pretty snappy regardless of ADSL speeds. My household's ADSL average 10.9mb/s
down 0.9mb/s up.

Since Xbox 360 has had a lot of UI changes since it launched, there's no ruling out Microsoft won't do the same for Xbox 1. Microsoft roles out many Updates for it's supported products to help improve user experience.

 

Yes Geek, Microsoft needs to add the Xbox Live Feature of Voice Messages, back. All Xbox 1 consoles have the same audio codec, unlike Xbox 360, so it is possible. Txt is boring. There has also been over 6.5k votes for it on the official feedback site. Also
make Avatars more prominent too, instead of hiding in a shoe box Avatar App. I wouldn't like to live in a box. Learn from what 360 has. The 360 has features which have helped make it a success.

I love how since the March Update came out, Party Chat shows either a Kinect symbol or Mic symbol, for what sort of mic you're using. I've never used the mic which came with my Xbox 1 Day 1 Edition console as I prefer and want to use Xbox 1's awesome Kinect.

All I want is for it to be less Windows 8 like, a bit more like Xbox 360's UI, user friendly, and loading stuff faster, force the OS to do voice messaging, and that's me.

 

@ Six Halos Deep - Being able to take screenshots while on explorer would be a good addition.

I agree with the list GG. A lot of the features would be great additions. Why some of them were not added from the get go is puzzling.

Guessing the Windows 10 interface will be the same as the current setup but with a few UI tweaks and modifications here and there. We do know a ton of apps are coming that can be also downloaded on windows 10 for the PC. The App Store will be the same on
both systems.

 

The only thing I hope they don't add is too many Advertisements.

 

16. Have the ability to share clips, screenshots, and other activity feed items with recent players as well as having a "search for player" option to do so (I would love to use this to share my clips with the other players actually featured within the clip).

17. From #16, have the ability to look up any clips/screenshots featuring you.

18. Copy and paste text option for the Internet Explorer app along with more consistent video browsing (some YouTube videos work while others don't and some work sometimes while not working at other times).

 

Bouncing off what SSB said:

19. Have more avatar integration.

20. Redo original, missing avatar content for next-gen (such as avatar background options) from the Xbox 360.

21. Bring back the avatar store from the Xbox 360 as part of the Avatars app.

 

I didn't buy a gaming console to stare at the dashboard...

 

I'm big into the whole social aspect of Xbox Live, so I start-up my console on the Home screen 1st so I can check my activity alerts, messages, etc. - I don't have my console set to auto-start games or DVDs or blu-rays or anything like that, which is exactly
what I'm assuming you do Burnin. Am I right?

Also, it's no longer called the "dashboard" - that's so 360...

 

I didnt buy a console to stare at the dashboard either but its nice to have one just like my wallpapers on my pc and cell phone its not essential but its a nice feature if i want to look at a pic of my family or whatever i chose while im idle or just chatting
and i should be able to customize it the way i want

 

Yeah i guess ur right galactic guess im just used to calling it that lol

 

When voice messaging comes back it needs the option to not allow voice messages to be received. I hate them with a passion, if that option does not come be warned, I will block/remove friends who send me voice messages.

 

"I will block/remove friends who send me voice messages." - RippenHarra

Add me so when voice messages become available, I can voice message you how stupid I think that comment is.

 

I agree with Rippen, they are at the point in this "listen to you" process that they should start to tread with care. Any changes they make should be fully optional. 5-10 thousands votes on a obscure website does not represent 10 million plus users...

 

Really Goth. What is so stupid about it? It was an absolute pain on 360 and will be even more so on the X1 as I read 99% of my messages through Smartglass. I can't wait to read a message to only see " this message can only be heard through your console"
.......4 days later turns console on to hear " You up for a Game tonight?" Or " want to SCREAMMMMM Join my SCREAMMMMM Call of duty SCREAMMMMMM Clan"

Can't wait.
