Icons resized on home page
It is pretty bad that Roku does not have a customer service to help solve THEIR problems. According to the forums many people had their icons resized that they didn't ask for. That's like the car co...

Hi BC16,
We appreciate the post!
We'd like to take a closer look at this. If possible, could you send us an image of your Roku screen showing the icon issue you're referring to? This would clarify us the issue you're having.
Your response would be much appreciated.
All the best,

Same thing, had icons ordered how I wanted, now all messed up and smaller - kind of bogus
This happened to me as well. The icons are now 1/3 to 1/2 the size they were and menu words are smaller. I had separate icons for device (Satellite TV and DVD Player) instead of it being lumped under one icon for “inputs.” More clicks to get to something is not better. I changed to a theme I don’t really like but it took the adds off to side and makes it somewhat easier to read, but I still have to get up out of my chair to see screen to make sure I’m at right place on menu &/or choose right app icon. We should have option to make changes like this & not be told/forced that this is better for you. I also don’t like the line of previously watched streaming shows knocking everything down a row.
Same issue here. I'm visually impaired. The smaller tiles made me buy an Apple TV 4K. I'm done with Roku.
Everybody is right. New tile size sucks, clearly was done to enlarge ad size. As a senior citizen I don' like the added eye strain.
What theme did you use that got rid of the ads?
With the Sci Fi theme they aren’t gone but you have to arrow over to see them. Gotothebeach posted how to get rid of top row continue watching & that worked, but no clues yet how to resize the icons or have individual inputs show on Home Screen. I haven’t yet gone to 3rd party websites yet so want to see if problem comes back without that step. Here is what Gotothebeach posted:
Posting here as well. Roku implemented this for third party apps to gather information on what is watched to bring users back to the third party app. Google "continue watching Roku developers". To get rid of it, I did the following and it worked:
1. Press * for Options on each show in continue watching and select hide or remove (don't recall word used).
2. Press * for Options on the Add Channels and Sleep Timer icons on Home Screen and remove. This removes all shortcuts on Home Screen, which Continue Watching fell under.
3. Go into Settings-Home screen and hide What to Watch, Featured Free and Shortcuts.
4. I also removed the Roku channel icon, pressed * for Options on the ad to right of Home Screen and selected hide, reset advertising identifier under Settings-Privacy-Advertising and deselected Personalized Ads and Smart TV Experience, and logged in to the actual website of each third party app through a computer deselected sharing of information with third parties. Not sure all of this was necessary, but Roku obligates the the third parties to obtain a user's consent to show the Continue Watching on Roku.

Hi Frankdodgen,
Thank you for your post.
We seem to have limited information about this issue you're having. Would you mind elaborating so we can provide an accurate resolution? What picture do you mean?
We'll appreciate your response.

I had just the opposite happen, turned on the TV tonight and my icons for all the different selections are gigantic and I can’t see them all on the screen anymore
