Roon crash / recent change to colors file

For anyone still mod’ing their color file to change Roon’s theme colours …

Roon crashed on me today, after a recent update, and reported an error regarding “button-sensitivity-text-color” in the log file. On checking, this is is a new color setting that was not present in the color file I ported to the new version to mod’ the theme. On further checking, I also found another setting: “atom-footer-opaque”.

If you’re still mod’ing your theme I’d suggest adding the following two lines to the bottom of your color file:

atom-footer-opaque #00%F7F8F9
button-sensitivity-text-color #FFFFFF

I haven’t worked out what they change (doesn’t seem to be anything immediately obvious).

Huge thanks for this DaveN! I never would have been able to track this down on my own and I love the charcoal theme so much. I’ve been using the colors file from a few years ago faithfully and this is the first time it has had an issue. I was wondering if any smart person was going to post a fix and you came through with (sorry for the bad pun) flying colors!

Puns aside, I’m very grateful

I tried this and it partially works.
I love my color theme, and it seems like all the crashing, it related to the theme i have. pressing settings/search sometimes works with my theme and crashes sometimes. Removing the themes folder makes roon stable.

It sounds like there’s still a problem with your theme file. If you can’t track down the issue please copy and paste it into this thread and I’ll see if I can identify any problems.

Thanks. I uninstalled Roon/Reinstalled to get the core colors. then I opened in text editor with row numbers and made my file match it row per row. I was missing these rows: 78,84,109 which are the same ones you mentioned, though for some reason copying atom-tooltip-bg #2C2C2E from the forum, kept causing my file to crash, but copying from the clean file worked. Yay, i have my colors back. It has been ~3 years, since i played with this file.

I use your last recommendations.
Thanks for your help mate.

Your color file is missing three lines that were added during recent updates. Add the following to the bottom of the file and you should be good to go:

atom-footer-opaque #00%F7F8F9

atom-tooltip-bg #b21122

button-sensitivity-text-color #FF0000

Thank you so much for working on this. Adding those lines plus the other recent changes is now working for me on the new ROON update that includes the daily picks. Thanks again!
