###What is r/XboxThemes?

Xbox Themes is your number one, official stop on the internet to find, share, show off, rate and discuss custom themes for the xbox!

You can follow us on twitter here

###How to Apply a Theme

Open up your Achievements app and choose any Xbox One game you have achievements unlocked for (remember only achievements you have unlocked are allowed to be used!)
Navigate to the unlocked achievement (You can choose to view it in fullscreen if you want to get a good look at the artwork) and simply choose "Set as Home Background"

###How to Apply a Custom Theme

Connect a USB to console / Connect a source through DLNA
Launch Media Player (either directly or through Settings>My Xbox > My background > Custom image)
Navigate to source of your choosing (USB/DLNA)
Navigate to folder/file of your choosing
Select the image (Must be jpg/png format and no larger than 3MB) – see it full screen.
Once you are viewing the image full screen, hit the menu button.
Select “Set as background”
You will be sent back to the full screen view of the image. Hit nexus, see the image on Home.

To help select or create an image that will work best for the background, the Xbox Design Team created a handy Photoshop template so you can see what parts of your pic will be blocked by the tiles. Download it here (Adobe Photoshop required to open):
