Hi all.Have Roon desktop running just as it does on Windows, on this old Dell Precision M6700 running Arch (KDE). Installed Wine then Wine Charm graphical interface.In wine charm ’Open’ and install RoonInstaller64, and viola there are three icons in wine charm. Click on Roon and it is just as it is in windows.
Happy listening.
It looks like the graphics are washed out. Most likely, you are running Wine 11.0. If you switch to Wine 10.0, it’ll fix this issue, but you’ll need to hold back updates until the issue is fixed in Wine.
Incidentally, a fantastic album!
Isn‘t the grey color a thing whenever the album is tagged with a Classical genre, as it is the case here?
Well, I had to enable genres and switch to dark mode to verify, but I don’t see a grey background for classical. However, I do see a slight change of background for classical, but nothing like in the OP’s screenshot.
I’ve had a similar issue. I’ve had installed Roon by using Lutris. After this weeks update Roon wouldn’t start anymore with a weird error message. Turned out Roon was using an old version of Wine. After selecting Wine-Staging-11.2 Roon started again. But it was completely washed out like in the OP’s screenshot. And moving the Roon window around my Linux Mint desktop resulted in flickering of the Roon app. After changing to a different Wine version in Lutris (ElementalWarriorWine-x86_64) Roon works normally again. And also looks normal in color.
Did you have to get rid of the mediacontrol in the shortcut? I had to add this to the Exec line in Roon.desktop shortcut (Ubuntu 24):
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="windows.media.mediacontrol="
Is there a “System Output” choice of zone where to play the music? What happens if you try to play music to the local system output?
You will need to install native Roon Bridge for Linux to get audio out.
Just sneaking in: this was due to a double sRGB conversion on default framebuffer. Newer version of Wine 11 have fixed that. For current fixes due to crashes at launch or white screen, see
For people struggling with Roon 2.0.25 on Linux with Bottles/Wine - #138 by rulbricht.
So is the display issue on Wine 11 is resolved? Sorry, your message is not entirely clear to me (not a very advanced linux user)
No, I believe @rulbricht has written a patch, but you would need to build Wine from scratch.
Best to stick with Wine 10.0 if you can.
For any that might be interested, I just tried wine-staging 11.19 on Kubuntu and Roon is no longer suffering from the washed-out colors for me and seems to be working fine. As a side, I do have .Net 10 installed along with Roon.
