I thought he said it was after the mono(?) driver update and wasn't due to upclocks.
If anything it was definitely prior to the cpu upclock, as that hadn't been pushed through to devs yet.

Oh, thanks i wasn´t sure if it was due to the uplcocks or some driver updates :smile:
Good to read it
The compromises that Ms made (size, design, etc) I think will pay off

Yeah since x360 doesn't look like that I'm going to more than assume most of those green default tiles become live tiles in the final, and it will obviously look much better then.
Perhaps and quite likely (as Dave already pointed out).
The setting page on 360 is certainly very green.
(Not that I really care. I just wanted to insert the star trek link.)I don't have a developer unit . I only got to use one while visting a friend but no his tiles are not green. I believe they are a dark blue as described to me (sorry can't see blue !)
But they're all the same colour? I expect people can customise the colour, but I'm not in favour of a grid of chunky buttons. As live tiles with content it may work, although I'm still not in favour of that as an interface. This isn't a mobile device where you may want to keep tabs of multiple data streams at a glance. I'd expect to see major function stuff up front, and rarely accessed settings and operations tucked away somewhere in a discrete arrangement. XMB works for me because it defaults to games or media, and shows content in a polite list with an interesting backdrop picked according to one's own aesthetics. Vita's interface doesn't agree with me because it's too messy, like a Windows desktop full of icons instead of a start menu with managed subfolders. AlStrong's image above is bad design IMO. Settings just needs a simple list with icons, rather than honking great squares of equal size and important to content. It's uniform, and I can see where MS were going with it, but it's not a style I like. I don't much care for what I've seen of PS4 either, but at least it's not (so far) gone as far as great big buttons for simple settings menus.

The idea of tiles* is that you have a personal "accent color"** which kinda describes your mood or personality. So right now my WinPho uses purple but it was brown when I felt like sh*t, red when I met the right gal and blue when I was dreaming a lot. You get the idea. I'd expect it to work the same on xbone. Now, the thing is that a set of applications or a single application can use different color. E.g. Office on WinPho is using its own color scheme to denote different types of documents. You could as well use an icon that fills tile completely and accent color would not be visible. So my guess is that green being the Xbox color, it's used across all devices shown so far. But you'll be able to pick yours, just like you pick your fav color on 3DS.
* in general, not xbone ones specifically
** it's also used for other blocky stuff like selecting text - background becomes your accent color

Is Microsoft uneducated about Canadian geography?

Nov .... if we are really lucky late OCT . But most likely the games will have gone gold or be very close to gold when the kiosks come out.
