Modifying how the interface looks is the easiest way to customize your Roku device to your liking. Every Roku TV or streaming player is equipped with a default theme pack that contains a wallpaper, screensaver, navigation sounds, and a certain menu style. If you’re not digging the built-in theme, you can easily switch to one of six available theme packs — there used to be more, but based on testing, a lot of the previously available options are no longer accessible — namely Jungle, Kids, Nautical, Romance, Space, and Western. Here’s how:
- Hit the Home button on your Roku remote.
- Using the directional pad, navigate to Settings.
- Select Theme.
- Go to “Theme packs.”
- Go to one of the available theme pack options.
- If the theme pack has not been previously installed, you can check out its screenshots and click “Get theme pack.” Otherwise, select “Set theme pack” to make it the active option.
On occasion, during commonly celebrated holidays like Valentine’s Day or Halloween, or when a new featured movie or show premieres, a seasonal theme pack may become available and be installed automatically on your Roku device. It’ll also automatically revert to your chosen theme pack after a few days. By default, this feature is enabled. You can disable it by following the instructions above till you get to the Theme page, selecting “Seasonal themes,” and choosing Off.
