How to switch between light and dark themes on Xbox One based on time of day

On Xbox One, you’ve been able to switch between the dark and light theme for quite some time, but now, it’s possible to set your personalization settings to switch between light and dark themes based on the time day starting with the April 2018 update.

Also, using the new settings, you can specify to automatically transition from the light to the dark theme based on your location’s sunrise and sunset hours.

In this guide, you’ll learn the easy steps to set your Xbox One personalization settings to change themes automatically based on the time of day.
