You can make a new theme as wel. Have not figured out yet how to change the name from unknown into something else ![Screenshot 2021-02-11 at 21.13.08](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/9/a/9a60097c44a2324fd634d17630940ca420b0a5af.png) ---

Roon community can make a “Custom Community Theme” to request Roon for implementation in the next release 🤣 ---

Yes, I have seen that and tried to name the new made theme but I think it needs a reference somewhere. I made a new theme with the name Medium but it keeps showing up as Unknown. Not that it matters much, it works. My girlfriend is allready busey with getting rid of the BIG fonts everywhere. I know this is something that gets destroyed with every new update but it is certainly fun, and after some fiddling very worthwhile. ---

No, my question was how to change the background of the “Recent Activity” section. No matter what I do (see my example above) that and the “Discover” section are not changing their color. ---

Go to your applications folder, and right-click on the Roon icon. Select “Show Package Contents” from the menu that opens. From there, it’s: Contents \> Resources \> Themes \> Dark (or “Creamsicle”) \> Colors ---

I don’t particularly like the mix of the old font and the new Grifo-font, so I copied and renamed two of the OpenType NotoSans fonts residing in the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Roon\Application\100800756 dir to the original Grifo-name. Works on Windows 8.1. I would not say it is now of high-end graphic design, but one type of font is easier on my eyes. ---

Oh thank you, so much better. Just did it on my Mac Pro desktop and will do for my MacBook later. Saved the color file in a folder for later use.
