How to Put a Custom Image on Your Xbox 360 Dashboard.(Pre Fall 08 Update)

In this instructable im going to show you how to put a custom image as your background on your xbox 360.

there are the same steps for doing this with the new and old dashboard. when i get a chance i will update the whole thing with new pictures.

To do this instructable you will need a few things:

a usb memory device
computer
xbox 360
an image

You should have an image that will fit over the whole dashboard.

A 7X7 inch picture will fill the whole main dashboard but will not fill whole menus like your videos list.

To make the picture cover every thing I would use a 10X7 inch picture.

When you save your picture to your usb device as a JPEG. JPEG is the only format i found that works well.

Plug you usb device in to your xbox. Not hard stuff here.

Go to the media blade then pictures.

press A on pictures then chose portable device. Hilight the picture you want and press Y.

This will set the picture as the background. Are you sure you want to use this picture?

To change the background later, open xbox guide, select personal settings, and select themes.

Yes use this picture.

there you go your done. The picture applies to every blade except the guide blades and the marketplace blade.
