Xbox One Insider Dashboard OS Previews [2017]

I'm now messing around with the Light Theme. Pretty sure I don't like it as well as the Dark Theme, but going to see how blinding it can be or if it'll grow on me.

I know I still absolutely despise the glow effect this round of dashboard updates brought.

 

Has there always been an "Game transcription" settings that enables speech to text and text to speech in the Ease of Access section?

 

It's not bad at all, at certain places. However in other spots it's a bit too bright as 80% of the screen is white-ish or other parts where text is to difficult to read. I submitted a few bug reports about the Light-Theme for exactly that, hard to read text in various locations -- the "About Clubs" text white on white in a Club Profile, "Store" twist on the Home Screens, the "TV / Entertainment" twist with the Trending Now section. there was also a couple system pages that were not properly Light Themed, like the Kinect Settings calibration area.

Also, I can't imagine how the Light Theme with HIGH CONTRAST setting applied would even look like. Maybe it would be better, like actually use text colors that you can see, like a nice solid Blue.

 

No. It needs to die.


At least make it selectable, so those with good tastes can disable it.

 

GameDVR will be getting 1080p capture and capture to external drive ...

 

I thought ... The system always reserved X% of resources even if Snap was not in use (general OS overhead?), and if SNAP was in use then Y% would be used from the Game resources (in addition to X%), so with Snap gone they could reduce the reservations or put them to use elsewhere, such as higher resolution recording.

 

Here's what the Avatars on Home screen looks like. It seems limited to having the friends tiles selected. They're animated and do movements. It would be nicer if they also displayed the users' avatar props, like the Lambent Berserker or Halo Banshee.
