J-S_93 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Themes is one the last changes we need... The PS5 UI is so bad; the worst I've ever experienced in my life, that having themes as the first positive change after all this time would be an insult. There are so many other things we need first: - A UI where it isn't painful to use to do the most basic of things with sub-menu after sub-menu deep just to do one thing... - Consolidate this ridiculous page of games separated by media that you have to juggle between just to even remotely begin seeing what you need and want to access... - An actual dedicated Trophy icon and being able to see more of things on screen; this far left and far right name and description is so obnoxious it hurts my brain... - Having proper full screen messaging and friends options with dedicated icons and being able to see message images in fullscreen; everything is such a chore to do, that everyone I used to chat regularly with via PS messages on the console barely speak anymore and have become anti-social because of how unintuitive and annoying it is to use... - You can't even backup your own PS5 saves in case of catastrophe and are forced to pay extortionate prices for PS+ to save them to the Cloud, and even that is less freedom over your saves, and makes save scumming harder. - No folders, no friend activities / What's New, a web browser where you have to manipulate the User Guide in order to even remotely use with no ability to bookmark pages; an awfully fully integrated PlayStation Store, and I use "fully integrated" very loosely that lacks options and features you had on the previous console, no Share Factory Themes, OH, AND NO THEMES! I know I am probably missing a lot more things out, and maybe I am mistaken about some things that were silently added, that are probably hidden so deep in sub-menus that I can't find, that I just think it's not there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't take away the fact that navigating on the PS5 is awful. Had one for like two years and still hate a lot of things.

That same UI behaviour didn’t stop the PS3 from supporting themes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess then they could come one day but i doubt it. Sony took ages for "game lists" and thats like not the folders everyone wanted... I'd love to have 2 or 3 folders in the xmb or whatever they call it now, that i can sort a few games into. Not a big deal though. Sony will do what they wanna do lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra-jane09 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Whilst I like the aesthetic of the PS5 UI, I think some different colours would be nice. Like the controllers have gone for Galaxy themed colours, why not the UI. Edited February 3 by alexandra-jane09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarWolf3000 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 On both the PS3 and PS4 the background changes to a picture and even the music changes to the one provided by the selected game and outside of that whatever the theme dictates. On PS4, if a game doesn't have any picture and BGM, it will show the animated blue background and the music changes to the default menu theme, regardless of your theme (there is a glitch were it will keep the theme's backdrop and BGM, if you crash the system software). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deeply loathe gamelists on PS5 and I like to pretend that feature doesn't exist. You know it's a dogshit feature when restoring licenses from your PSN account settings deletes any and all created GLs. 1 hour ago, alexandra-jane09 said: Whilst I like the aesthetic of the PS5 UI, I think some different colours would be nice.

For some time now the PS App lets users choose a colour (from the range you mentioned) in the settings so I don't see any excuse for SIE not to do the same for the PS5 menus.

majob Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I'd like for them to return, I had a few faves for the PS4, but at the same time it's not something they need to do right away. Personally I'd like the ability to make a custom background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's a dogshit feature when restoring licenses from your PSN account settings deletes any and all created GLs. That, and the fact iirc they are buried in the games library with everything you downloaded etc. which now has a search function anyway. It'd be convenient if GL would be changed to folders for the xmb whatever. OR at the very least have them in the "control center" menu. Also forgot the app could change colors. That being said, you're right. At the VERY least, they could allow color change to red, blue, green, gold, purple etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CymroMatt Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Not only themes but avatars too. I no longer own a PlayStation 4 so the ability for me to redeem/purchase new avatars has gone. I'd even take having the option to do so on the PlayStation App over nothing else. It just seems a bizarre oversight.

shadaik Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 PS3 had the ability to add custom themes via USB stick (mine has Darkwing Duck with his cape flowing in the wind). Now that is what I want back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB7Tuner91 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I could care less about themes. I want them to rebuild the ugly trophy UI. It seems like no effort was put into it during the development of the PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 got themes support in System Software 2.0, released in Fall 2014. So, a bit less than a year after launch.

This exactly... And the inability to back up your PS5 game saves to a USB drive is one of the biggest ever dickhead moves Sony has ever made. There's plenty of things we need other than stupid themes. Firstly, Sony growing a fucking brain. Like that's ever going to happen. PS+ is a fucking joke. Essential is anyways. I stopped my subscription when it jumped from $60 to $95. Seriously, Sony. GTFO! Edited February 14 by TheDarkKratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanyverse Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I want both themes and folders to come back. Its getting quite annoying trying to keep track of everything with a backlog as large as mine, working through it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
