UK and Canadian customers can now customize their Roku home screen
Roku continues to grow its set-top box market and improve its offerings. So it's no surprise that yet another feature is beginning to roll out, this one for customers in both the UK and Canada. If you're tired of that purple background screen then you're in luck, with the option for new custom themes.
Customers will now find a "themes" category in the Channel Store and you'll be on your way. At the moment there are ten home screens to choose from, but Roku promises that more will be on the way soon.
"There’s a number of fan favourite themes, including Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation options, which allow the Enterprise voyage to continue while you’re taking a streaming break! For petrol heads there is a Fast & Furious theme and there’s also a Big Lebowski theme for those who like a chilled pace of life, like The Dude", according to Roku.
This isn't completely free, as prices range from £0.69 to £1.99 and $0.99 to $1.99 in both the UK and Canada. You can set them up from the Settings page by clicking Themes.
