Features, settings & updates

[Hillafire40]

Just recently the option for different themes have been removed from the Roku settings. Now there are only a few wallpaper and Screensaver options. What's more, the Screensaver I chose doesn't work although it shows it has been set as my Screensaver. Is there a way to get the old theme options back?

Hi @Hillafire40,

A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!

We'd love to further investigate this issue. Can you please provide the following information below?

• What are the themes that have disappeared?
• Could you provide us with a photo?

With detailed information, we will be able to assist you further.

All the best,                                                                                                                                        John

You're not alone! I change my wallpaper all of the time especially during holidays. Imagine my surprise when I went to change it this morning from Valentine's day to spring and the entire look is different! Some idiot got the bright idea to make Wallpapers & Screensavers look like the newish (and not user friendly) Search & Streaming Store sections! Now it's impossible to use this as easily as it was before this lame change! I'm so done with Roku it ain't even funny!

Yeah, I have the same problem I don't know why change something that isn't broken. It's very annoying now.

Hello! @Yougood-_-,

Thanks for the question,

We're happy to help with the changes/disappearances of Roku themes.

On various occasions throughout the year, such as Valentine's Day or Halloween, Roku releases seasonal themes that only appear for a short period of time, e.g., 3 days. Your Roku device will automatically display a seasonal theme and automatically switch back after it expires.

Seasonal themes are enabled by default. You can disable them using the following instructions.

1. Open the Themes menu using steps 1 through 3 from above
2. Select Seasonal themes
3. Select Off to disable seasonal themes (or select On to enable them)

In addition to selecting a theme pack, you can further personalize your Roku device by:

• Changing the screensaver
• Setting the name and location of your Roku device
• Changing the format of the clock
• Hiding or showing shortcuts
• Blocking content using parental controls

Thanks,
Arjiemar
