what happened to my relaxing blue menu and why did they replace it with skull searing white, WHAT HAPPENED

I don't like the guide button menu anymore. That bothers me.

EDIT: Also I don't understand why MS is going for all their hardware to be sleek and black and the new dashboard is Apple white.

I watched this Xbox 101 video on the dash with some chick who wasn't even that hot, talking about achievements and stuff. I could probably fap to it

What's up with the new font they're using. It looks a little blocky and low-res (on a 1080p display at least). Also I don't like that white outerglow they added to the pop-up notifications.

Did anyone try the new Netflix app? I was wondering if they're doing 1080p streaming. I'd use it on my PS3 but Sony started region locking Netflix on Japanese hardware (in America, durrr)

Yeah, the new Guide is weirdly apple-esque. But it's apple-as-seen-by-MS, so it's got all kinds of weird, wasted space.

About the netflix app, someone on gaf said that they're gonna add 1080p streaming eventually. They didn't say when though. Could be bullshit.

Who actually watches inside xbox videos though?

Speaking of XBL chat it seems a lot clearer now. Definitely a lot more tinny but I can make out what people are saying better.

Everything is apple-esque to you, old man.

I don't mind it, although I wish I could change all the white back to the charcoal color it was before the update. 

(Was that my own customization or was that the default?  I don't remember.  Anyhow, I wish the option was there to change it.)

Only the best things in life. I painted my dog translucent white.

Besides, it was startselect who mentioned Apple. I should have quoted him in my post, I guess.

I don't believe the Guide background could be customized. Dashboard background and Channel elements were customizable by the Premium Themes or even user-set pictures, but not the Guide.

It would be nice to have a couple choices for preset styles.

i didn't have a problem with it.  I like it.  My problem was that it took more than 3 minutes to install it.  That's never happened on a 360 update for me.

I kinda hate it, but if I were able to do this, I'd be downgraded to mildly annoyed.

Uh, they look proportional now. No more freakishly big heads. Leave that to the Miis.

You can adjust the avatar size if it looks weird.
