    Xbox One X dashboard is a light grey washed out colour when using dark theme


    The Xbox One X dashboard theme is not working properly when using dark theme, it appears as a light grey colour throughout the dashboard and looks a bit washed out. It does not like if it is working properly as when I go to theme settings and toggle between
    light theme and dark theme, the dark theme briefly appears as a black dark theme and then goes light grey and stays like that.

    Is there any fix for the dark theme not showing up as black?

    Is this related to the bug with elevated black levels, blacks showing as grey on the UHD player when watching UHDs?

    Thanks

    :)

    11 - All black with no pupil (or all pupil?)

    12 - Light brown, Light green/hazel

    13 - Grey or very light blue

    14 - Light green/hazel, Light brown

    Weapon Skin Ratings

    You know what, I was looking at the "Tribal" skin and then it hit me. Not only are they tiger stripes instead of splotches, but they're missing the full range of camo colour spectrum.

    .

    Green camo (Jungle Normal Camo) would need Green, Beige, Brown, and Black. Tribal only has Light Green and Dark Green.

    .

    Arctic Camo would need White, Light Grey, Dark Grey, and Black. It only has Dark Grey and Black.

    .

    The Desert set looks passable because it appears to have three shades. Tribal and Arctic simply are too basic in their design.

    .

    To better illustrate this, I may pull out a selection of camo bandannas tomorrow and take screenshots with my Mossberg. It's kind of like the Gnasher, except it has 250 yards more range.

    Anyone know how to fix recorded game clips looking grey and washed out?

    Hi, thanks for your reply, yes they look exactly the same when viewing them from my xbox. Grey and dark. Washed out.

    Damaged display

    Hi there,

    Have you tried a new HDMI cable at all? Also, it might be worth
    changing the dark or light theme colour     to see if it kick starts things in the right direction. Hope things work out!

    Best,

    How do you change theme colour?

    [quote user="NanoTechSoldier"]You must be thinking of the Original NXE Dashboard, where you could change theme colours etc..[/quote]The NXE never offered any Feature to change any Colors. OP, the "grey blob" changes depending
    on what Theme is being Used (most Premium Themes have different colors). Note though- all .jpg Files Used as a Custom Background will always show as the "grey blob".

    What new feature I hope for the most from the fall update?

    One thing I would love is Dynamic Themes amongst customizable sounds. Although the new dashboard does not look very theme friendly. I hope I am very wrong and they have created a new way to see themes, that truly represent a theme
    i.e colour changes, background viewable even noises when choosing Marketplace icons.

    @LOL AT UR SKILL With 99% of the Premium Themes being pretty bland in design and covered up by the grey blob in the current dashboard, I would not put it in the catergory of customization. I
    am interested to see how the new dashboard deals with themes though.

    put your brightness all up for the best graphics

    turning it up too high will wash out the colours and ruin the textures , and dark areas and night scenes will be ruined
