Youāre welcome - glad youāve found it useful 
I have as well. Pretty easy to do and I used the Google sheet, well done.
Itās odd that there is a ānameā file that Roon seems to ignore. Hopefully plumbing for a future release.

The name file has been there for at least the last few versions, but Roon only recognises āLightā or āDarkā - anything else shows up as āUnknownā - so itās not much use at the moment. Itās clearly reading the data in the file, but what gets written into settings screen isnāt a direct copy. As you say, hopefully Roon will alter this given the recent interest in creating alternate themes.
@DaveN - I made some modifications to your generator to make it work with Light or Dark themes. Let me know if itās okay to post it or if you want, I can share my changes with you directly first. I am new to Roon/forum so I donāt think I can send a PM right now.

Please feel free to share it. I still havenāt had time to work on any dark themes with the generator so I think your version would be worth sharing.

Thanks!
Hereās my modification to the theme editor and Iāve made a couple darker themes with it so far without any problems. Iāve also tried making a light theme as well. I added a few more color editing boxes with more descriptions through a lot of trial and error.
Let me know how it goes.

I removed the macro for copy/pasting because it wasnt work right.
The new version of Roon crashes if one uses a theme other than the stock themes. Help!!!

Yes, it also crashes for me if I use a theme for the theme generator.
But the think hate most are the purple buttons and links. To make them blue instead of purple, I just changed these lines, and that didnāt cause a crash:
atom-genre-mapping #6ba2d9
atom-blue #6ba2d9
atom-blue-hover #6badd9
atom-blue-pressed #6badd9
atom-blue-insensitive #3C3C3F
atom-blue-mapping #3C3C3F
atom-onebox-blue #3C3C3F
It often crashes for me to, but if you try to open it a few times it seems to sort itself out. I suspect that aspects of the theme are cached, so when you change the theme it causes an error. A restart or two seems to fix the problem.
I have been trying to use one of your themes and one of my themes since the last update and Roon now just opens and crashes instantly all the time but if go back to the standard themes it does not crash.
I am not sure why itās doing this after the latest update as all worked fine after the update last month, and when I have just had a glance over the theme files I cannot see that anything has changed in these files so not sure why it is not letting me use the custom themes at present.
Will try clearing the cache as a last resort for now if still not working will have to look to see if can spot something that has changed somewhere.
Mine crashes too. Got my fonts to stick, so must be color. The square artist shape file went all weird too.
Well after about 20 attempts to get roon to play ball it is finally working correctly again and now not crashing anymore, must have been a image cache thing I am guessing, though never cleared the cache??
EDIT: I spoke to soon and started to crash constantly again!! 
Iāve been at work all day so havenāt had a chance to look yet. Iāll update now and see what I can do.
OK, fixed.
An extra line has been added to the colors file as follows:
atom-bluebg-noalpha-classical #EAEBEC
The above is line 69 in the new colors file.
Iāve updated the theme generator but you will need to grab a new copy of the file. Go back to the start of this thread if you need to go back through the instructions on how to do this.
And just to confirm:

Was added at the end too I think
@moderators is it possible to unlock my first post in this thread so I can edit it to reflect the changes that were made today?
Correct. Iāve just added that to the theme generator too.
