The latest Media Player update allows you to create customized Xbox One backgrounds using your own pictures. Here's how it works:
To help select or create an image that will work best for the background, the Xbox Design Team created 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): http://mjr.mn/XBOBackgrounds (I had the PSD template updated with green squares instead of transparent. This will help better position your background)
If you make a great background, share it! Drop a link into the comments below for others to download and try.
Note: all links are automatically pulled into moderation, they'll be approved within 24 hours.
If you are having trouble, remove the media player app and reinstall it.
