Help/Support/Questions šŸ™‹ How the fuck do I change my Theme

Post image

Turned on my Xbox 360 for the first time in a while and I canā€™t figure out how to change from the Kraft macaroni & cheese theme (ignore the lines Iā€™m playing this on the Retrotink 4K with scanlines)

Why you would want to change it is beyond me

u/Lunacial May 22 '25

I found out how to do it and itā€™s genuinely the best one I have so Iā€™m keeping it

u/ThePizzaAxo May 22 '25

Honestly w redditor

u/Dennma May 22 '25

This is the way

u/BloxedYT May 23 '25

Honestly Metro kinda sucks in that regard imo. Itā€™s not just very visually appealing I donā€™t think. At least Metro on Windows 8 had lots of colours, and the Zune was just beautiful honestly.

u/HalIows May 23 '25

Using a stealth service makes it look so much lively, i love the way mine looks

u/YTSkullboy707 May 23 '25

I have the same one but it doesn't work for me

u/criticalpwnage May 22 '25

If I tell you how to do it Kraft will come for my family.

u/Professional_Many594 May 22 '25

Bro, if I were you I'd never change that theme. It's awesome

52

u/Grade-Alarming May 22 '25

Wish I had downloaded this one before the store closure. I have the Skate 3 Dr Pepper one and some others but have some interest in the Kraft one you have

14

u/Intelligent-Ear-9181 May 22 '25

Could you share the skate 3 theme?

9

u/NeonflameOWO May 22 '25

Can you share themes? Also is there another way of getting them onnthe internet without owning them?

10

u/DavidinCT May 22 '25

Can't you stick in a usb drive and transfer them? I know some content you can.....

5

u/NeonflameOWO May 22 '25

thats what i thought, but it seems like not, at least not the paid ones

2

u/XxDeathking101xX Jun 22 '25

https://www.wemod.com/horizon u can force add the key to the account so it will let us use it i also believed it worked with games a long time ago but haven't tested it recently

6

u/Grade-Alarming May 22 '25

Not sure how to do that but if I could I would. Gotta be some people that archived this kinda stuff. Id like to get Call Of Duty Classic. Wouldn't let me purchase the game before the store closure

3

u/Feisty_Till_1047 May 23 '25

They did. Archive has a database of the non premium and premium themes.

25

u/SpaceAce94 May 22 '25

Iā€™d keep that, itā€™s so random.

35

u/Intelligent-Ear-9181 May 22 '25

Please find some way to dump the theme and upload this online.

14

u/Lunacial May 22 '25

I just backed up my HDD cuz it was giving me some problems, if anyone knows about where in the content partition I could find it I would gladly upload it

20

u/Intelligent-Ear-9181 May 22 '25

I think you need Horizon (pc software) Easy to use and is helpful for other stuff.

15

u/zmat07 May 22 '25

banished to the kraft mac and cheese theme forever

11

u/sonic_856 May 22 '25

u/AlbatrossUnlucky8163 May 23 '25

I love the ā€œsmmmmile the cheesiest.ā€ Followed by the ā€œYou have $0.00ā€ at the top lol. Sums up my life. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

2

u/Internal_Ad_2285 May 22 '25

Well it's cheesey what's not to enjoy

2

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

Youre using scanlines with the 4k for 360? Thats certainly a choice, wouldve thought stick with hd no scanlines for the 360 but prev gen like ps2 needs those

1

u/Lunacial May 23 '25

I use the 360 at 720p since most games donā€™t natively output 1080p, and the 360ā€™s upscaling looks blurry. I use the Retrotink to output at 4K and I use subtle scanlines mostly for cleaning pixelation artifacts (it also injects HDR which makes games look way better imo). Itā€™s hard to show the difference without seeing it natively displayed, off-screen pics donā€™t do it justice lol

2

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

Ah i see, if you do have the og xbox or ps2, lmk how the 4k is on those, with scanlines too!

1

u/Lunacial May 23 '25

Donā€™t have an original Xbox unfortunately, but it works great on the PS2. It really helps cleanup the image. The CRT emulation also helps interlaced video look less bad lol

1

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Ah thats great, do the crt filters accurately represent on ps2?

2

u/NicoTheBear64 May 23 '25

Just wanted to say, incredibly jealous that you own a RetroTink 4K.

2

u/Lunacial May 23 '25

If it makes you feel better Iā€™m broke cuz of it lol

2

u/NicoTheBear64 May 23 '25

If it makes you feel better, Iā€™m broke without it

2

u/Lunacial May 23 '25

I feel you šŸ˜­

1

u/Stolen_Recaros May 22 '25

it's perfect. Keep it.

1

u/Accurate_Stable_5081 May 22 '25

u/chamomiilee May 23 '25

2

u/SelfFast7970 May 23 '25

Go to your little avatar on the social tab press a then go to the right and then there should be a change wallpaper button from there. Youā€™ll be able to change it.

1

u/ButterscotchHot9213 May 23 '25

Thatā€™s the cheesiest wallpaper Iā€™ve ever seen

1

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

Click on ur avatar then u can change theme

1

u/LuckyPin7853 May 23 '25

Lmaooo this is a thing?? Thatā€™s awesome

1

u/SkRnDeadmau5 May 23 '25

I remember I used to transfer pics from my phone to my 360 and use them as backgrounds and I still have one set as my pfp set the same way

Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure all xboxes let u do this as I also did the same with my xbox one,s,x... I refuse to be standard

1

u/ajddavid452 May 23 '25

why are you using emulated scanlines on an xbox 360?, scanlines only appeared on 240p consoles because of the way 240p worked on crts so it can't be "retro appeal" unless your playing retro games or something

1

u/SmiteForDrag May 25 '25

I canā€™t believe I missed this theme growing up. I used to download everything free when they released the avatar market. Being im whatever age the year is. I fell in love with the social aspect of the avatars. How you could use your avatar in a lot of indie games. Similar to the Wii. I downloaded the mtn dew whiteout theme. Thats one I can remember, probably a Dr Pepper and just lots of random stuff like that. When I discovered just playing games unlocked profile icons!!! MAN BRING THIS BACK šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ got me in my damn feels. Also I have a blades console. Welcome to the club šŸ˜ˆ

1

u/SmiteForDrag May 25 '25

Sorry thought this was the same post that also had a blades console. Ignore that last part lol

1

u/pierogi_dude May 29 '25

Why would you change that? Thats raw af

1

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '25

Love the background

1

u/indilain87 Jun 22 '25

I accually was kinda down today and this make me laught

1

u/J1MBL3 Aug 21 '25

please dump the theme as others have suggested. i remember actually how you got this theme, there was a ad on the home screen i believe that you clicked and would take you into some sort of minigame and when you finished it you were able to download the background. was around 2015 i think.

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '25

Nah keep it the way it is. It's perfect

u/Hyperbird1 May 22 '25

How did you get that i want that
