Earlier this week, Microsoft unveiled the latest revision of the Xbox One operating system, introducing some of the biggest visual overhauls since launch. While still in progress, the first build is already on its way to Xbox Insiders, with a major revamp of the Home screen, a new Xbox Guide menu and system-wide tweaks based on the Fluent Design System.

Shortly after the update's unveiling, Xbox platform Corporate Vice President, Mike Ybarra, took to the company's Mixer live streaming service to showcase the new dashboard update running on an Xbox One X. As a part of a subsequent community Q&A, Ybarra confirmed a light theme is in the works for the Xbox One OS.

Although not available in the public build shipping today, a light variant of the dashboard is in the pipeline, complementing the existing darker color scheme currently seen by all Xbox One users. Despite not providing a precise timeframe for its arrival for Xbox Insiders, the light theme will be publicly shipping as a part of the Fall Creators Update for Xbox One, later this year. For now, Ybarra has assured gamers that it simply "looks awesome" in its current state.
