A new update rolling out to Xbox Insiders introduces fresh ways to customize the console experience. According to the Xbox Wire post, participants in the Insider program now have access to additional color options and on-screen controller settings.
New Color Options
The update adds more color schemes for the Xbox dashboard, letting Insiders tweak the look of their home screen beyond the standard presets. While exact details are scarce, the move suggests Microsoft is giving users finer control over the console’s visual personality, something long requested by the community.

Controller On-Screen Settings
Insiders can also manage controller configurations directly from on-screen menus. This likely streamlines button remapping, stick sensitivity, and other peripheral tweaks without needing to dig through multiple layers of system settings. It’s a small but quality-of-life improvement that makes the console feel a bit more like a PC in terms of accessibility.

GamerHeadlines Takeaway
These features are currently limited to Xbox Insiders, but they typically signal what’s coming to the broader Xbox ecosystem in a future public update. If the testing goes well, expect the color options and controller settings to reach all Xbox users later this year.
