Wishing for a new dashboard
DynamicDonut \| 12:25 AM on 07.07.2008	8 comments

A pretty interesting article I found not too long ago. It's written by a graphic designer, who obviously owns a 360, and is a bit worried by the look of the 360's dashboard. So, what else but to make up a concept of a better dashboard?

Personally, I think it would be a good idea to give the dashboard a nice upgrade, plus his additions (mostly the 'user ratings' and 'show me the money' sections) are pretty novel ideas. Sadly, I doubt any of this would get added, if any time soon. Still, it's nice to dream.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

That dashboard that he designed is relevant to my interests.

Oh man that's hilarious. I know it's a concept and all, but still... him narrowing down the ad space from 25 percent to just 8 percent is pure hilarity.

The Scientist

He has a vision, now all he has to do is let Microsoft stamp all over it like pilgrim giving homage.

Really cool design but sadly highly unlikely to happen. I predict more advertisments and whoring in general. I really would like to see XBL cut down on the ads for gold members considering you do pay for it.

I kinda like that. Never noticed all that wasted space. And navigating down long lists (even with using triggers) are hell sometimes.

I like how there's more room for the wallpaper...but yea come on. As money hunger Microsoft are, ads will take mroe space than before.

Good idea..I personally don't like how things are set up in the end. Or rather it's just set up wrong.

I love the design but it will never happen. Microsoft loves their ad space
