Anyone else super stoked on being able to play your own music in background via USB? I definitely am, I'm actually transferring all my music from my computer onto my USB stick as I type!! :grin

Merged your thread with this one as it's the same subject.

So I've explored as much as I can (not used the Share Play feature), but it's ok. Unfortunately, themes are limited to 8 different colours - Normal Blue, Yellow, Darker Blue, Red, Lighter Blue, Pink/Purple, Pink and Grey. So not much variety there. And it seems like the "dynamic themes" are absent, but I'm guessing they will be added to the marketplace later in the week?

No Youtube app, but again I'm guessing that will be on the marketplace next week?

Aside from them, certain displays are different (there is now a tiny green "bubble" next to how many friends are online) and for some reason for me, all my "What's New" feed is gone. Shows up for a second and then just has a "Connect with More Friends" icon on it's own.

EDIT: Youtube app is now on the marketplace.

Is the YouTube app different than on the PS3?

How do you change the colour of the home screen?

Been looking around and can't find the option.

Finally! I am surprised there was no Youtube app at launch. Oh well, glad it's here now.

 

[Bucketbiff]

Go to system settings and then themes

Yeah it is. It's a little different. Actually it's identical to the Xbox One version.

You can now get PS4 themes from the marketplace. There are only 3, but they are free!

If the link doesn't work, just look under Themes, then PS4

So far I like the update. Changing the themes is a nice welcome change. Sucks there's only a few new themes to choose but I'm sure that will change in time. I don't like how they redid the Live from Playstation though. I liked how before when you hit circle on someones stream, it would exit out of it. Now it seems the only way to exit someones stream is to click on someone else or exit the program all together and go back in. Seemed like a pretty major oversight (unless I'm missing something). Haven't tried the shared play yet though hoping to try that soon.

In case any don't know.

If you go to the PS store site on a computer, type in theme and then see the boxes at the side to narrow your search down, select PS4 and you can see the themes they have out currently.
