Xbox
On a console the board becomes a wall: big type, one focus, and a controller. The job and its words are the web's. The frame, the buttons, and the guide belong to Xbox. The ten-foot rules on the hub apply here first.
Web counterpart
The web board and job sheet, read from across a room.

What carries
- The job, its status words, and its money.
- Electric blue as the focus ring.
- Honest states, including stale after resume.
Plus everything on the shared list.
What the host owns
- The Xbox button and the guide. Never intercept them.
- Official Xbox button art for A, B, X, Y, View, and Menu.
- Narrator, high contrast, and system text size.
- Quick Resume and suspend.
Rules
The ten-foot rules apply first. These add the hands.
- A selects. B backs. A does the focused thing. B closes the top layer. X and Y are optional and screen-specific, and the legend names them.
- Bumpers switch tabs. Triggers page. LB and RB move between top tabs and wrap. LT and RT jump a page in long lists. Neither commits anything.
- Follow the Xbox Accessibility Guidelines. Text size, contrast, subtitles, input remapping, and Narrator are product work, not polish. The XAG is the checklist.
- No Xbox costume. We do not use Xbox green, the sphere, or dashboard tiles as our look. Only the button glyphs are theirs to show.
We refuse
- A mouse cursor mode for app screens.
- PlayStation glyphs on Xbox.
- Xbox green as an accent.
