Have a favorite custom background? Share it in the modding forums, but remember to keep images console-friendly.

Hdd1:\Aurora\media\backgrounds\ If the backgrounds folder doesn’t exist, create it manually.

| Parameter | Requirement | |-----------|--------------| | Format | PNG or JPG (PNG preferred for transparency/quality) | | Resolution | (720p – Aurora’s native renderer) | | File Size | Under 5 MB (larger files cause slow loading) | | Color Space | sRGB (no CMYK or weird profiles) | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 (widescreen only) | ⚠️ Warning: Do not use 1920×1080 images. Aurora will downscale them poorly, leading to lag or a black screen on some TVs. 3. Where to Put Backgrounds (FTP or USB) You need to transfer images to your Xbox 360’s hard drive. Use FTP (FileZilla) or a USB stick with XeXMenu .

If you’ve modded your Xbox 360 and installed the Aurora dashboard, you already know it’s the gold standard for managing games, emulators, and homebrew. But staring at the default blue gradient gets old fast. Customizing your Aurora background not only makes your console feel unique but also helps organize your interface.
