Anyone know if/how you can change the default 'screen' from Spotlight to My Xbox?

Or get rid of Spotlight and Inside Xbox all together

.

You can control the whole interface with a keyboard now (dunno how much you could before). Really fast as well and the message interface feels much more responsive even though they just changed the look of the keyboard it is easier to type, somehow.

Also can't figure out what triggers do? Really fast or slow scroll through top menus?

I really do like this. I can't believe how much faster it is than the old one, especially the Guide. It appears instantly now and accesses everything straight away. Just installing Fable 2 to see how it fairs.

Download and use the Gears of War 2 - Last Day theme

wow

)

I don't have it and I think if I was going to get it they would have sent me an email by now.

anyone know where to download the photo sharing app?

simo182 · 14 Nov 2008 at 21:37

Not sure it is live yet? Has it not been delayed for a bit?

EDDS · 14 Nov 2008 at 22:36

apprantly it was on the spotlight channel but its now gone.

dannyjo22 · 14 Nov 2008 at 22:53

So how do you even download this? I've been sent an invite. Not sure which console for though.

simo182 · 14 Nov 2008 at 22:59

Just log into live and it prompts you for an update, so you will need to try all your consoles. Once that is done and you sign in again it downloads all the other stuff that it needs that isn't in the flash memory

dannyjo22 · 14 Nov 2008 at 22:59

Ah must be my other console that stayed in the MS refurb pit.

Soulja · 14 Nov 2008 at 23:00

i'd of thought it would have been an auto update like previous ones. Get booted off live then get update prompt.

simo182 · 14 Nov 2008 at 23:06

It is, when you log into live it boots you off, downloads the small update and then when you get into the NXE for the first time it downloads another update for all the avatars and other stuff.

Can you not the change the horrible green colour of the windows?

I have tried the three default themes and they all keep them the horrible green colour and only change the background
