Hey @David_Hammond,

Thanks for writing in! If you could, please bring your Roon Server online and we’ll take a closer look at a fresh diagnostic report for additional information.

Hello @David_Hammond,

Thanks for waiting for a reply.

We’ve checked the diagnostics report and it was visible to us that the problem is very likely caused by a UI drawing issue.

Could we please ask you to go to the “Appearance” settings on your Mac and set the theme to default values, like this:

Please, let us know if that solves the problem.

Thanks.

Exactly the same with Appearance Dark, Liquid Glass Clear and Theme Multicolor.

Hey @David_Hammond,

Thanks for giving that a try! Let’s see if refreshing your instance of Roon remote may help:

  • Exit out of Roon
  • Navigate to your Roon Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “Roon”
  • Rename the “Roon” folder to “Roon_old”
  • Reinstall the Roon App from our Downloads Page to generate a new Roon folder
  • Verify if the issue persists on a fresh install

Thank you!

Please let us know if that helps.

Thanks.

Yes I am using a Customised Themes because I do not like Roon’s default Dark or Light Themes and have been doing so for several years.
