Alas, this dynamic background apparently isn’t dynamic enough for some, with users complaining that outside of the faintly swirling mist it doesn’t reallydoanything.
“They need to step it up with these ‘Dynamic Backgrounds’. I’ve seen more impressive dynamic backgrounds, via apps, on my iPhone 5 from over a decade ago,“complainsone unhappy fan.
“I really wish we would get some more animation and sounds with it,” anotheradds, while a third observes: “I can’t tell what’s dynamic about it.”

I guess you get what you pay for. Frankly I’m just happy we still have custom themes on Xbox Series consoles, which is more than can be said for the drudgery of the PlayStation 5 UI. And don’t even get me started on the Nintendo Switch and itstwooptions.
