If you prefer a specific aesthetic—like a high-res shot of your favorite game or a clean minimalist design—Aurora allows for full static background replacement.

Aurora can automatically fetch game-specific backgrounds and artwork from XboxUnity.net

The Aurora background was not merely a static image; it was a mood. Visually, it captured the ethereal beauty of the Northern Lights, reimagined through a sleek, digital lens. The background featured undulating waves of emerald green, teal, and soft azure, rising vertically like spectral curtains against a backdrop of deep, abyssal black. This choice was strategic: the dark background ensured that the white text of the menu system popped with high contrast, maintaining readability while exuding a premium feel.

If these assets aren't downloading automatically, users may need to check their connection settings or manually add art using tools like the Aurora Asset Editor How to Change the Background Open Settings on your controller while on the Aurora home screen.
