New Xbox Experience: Themes and Friends Channel

Xenctuary | September 27, 2008 | Previews | XBOX 360 
Gamerscore Blog's DirtyDiva walks us through how themes will work in the pending Xbox 360 Dashboard update and shows off some of the functionality of the Friends Channel.

The Xbox 360 Dashboard refresh is rumoured to be released late this October.
Ahhh Themes - There's been a lot of chatter about whether or not you can keep what you have, how they will look and how the new stuff will be different. We'll be tackling all of that today so pay attention! Also in this week’s Developer Diaries, we’re going to show you more on the new Friends Channel - another area we got a lot of questions about after we first showed it to you at E3.

This fall, themes are getting even more detailed with the New Xbox Experience. Themes will take over more than just the background of your Dashboard – they will be present on every channel in cool, dynamic ways. Yes, I said, "DYNAMIC." Check out the screens below that show the Underground Theme on the Dashboard and the Friends Channel.

    The new Dashboard is looking fantastic so far, but Microsoft could at least have made the lower half of the screen transparent when using a "classic" theme. I'm thinking those who totally wasted spent their money purchasing themes from the current Xbox Live Marketplace will not be happy to have half of the image cut off.
