Xbox – How to create the own Xbox 360 theme

xbox-360

How can I create my own theme for Xbox 360? Is it relatively straightforward with the use of software (either on the Xbox itself, my PC or a combination of both). Or is there a huge process like when submitting games to the arcade involving approval, assigning points for purchase, etc?

All I want to do is use my own background photo/wallpaper.

This YouTube video details how to add your own background to the Xbox 360 dashboard.

Essentially:

  1. Create an image of the correct dimensions (JPG format only).
  2. Put the image onto a portable device, or connect your Xbox to your PC.
  3. Navigate to the image you've created via the Xbox .
  4. Select the image and press Y to assign it as your wallpaper.
