How to Change Background on Roku

Changing the Themepack:

A themepack is an integrated collection of home screen wallpaper, screensaver, and sound effects that have been designed to look and function cohesively within a certain theme. For example, the rainforest Theme pack includes a screensaver that depicts woods, streams, and various wild creatures as well as wallpaper for the home screen that depicts a rainforest and sounds that imitate the noises of jungle animals.

Go to the Settings menu on your Roku TV, then pick Theme, and then select Theme Packs to make a change to the theme pack. There is a wide selection of different theme packs available, some of which are Space, the Jungle, Western, Romance, Kids, and more.

Now, download the themepack that you want, and after it’s finished, choose it and then hit the button labeled “Set theme pack.” Your newly selected themepack will now be applied to the TV’s home screen, where it will replace the wallpaper, the screen saver, and the noises.

Changing the Wallpaper:

You also have the option to merely download the wallpaper that you prefer if you do not wish to choose and choose individual pieces. Navigate to Settings > Theme > Wallpapers to change the background image that is used with the current themepack. You can then choose the desired wallpaper by clicking the Get wallpaper button.

Select the background image once it has finished downloading, and then click the “Set as wallpaper” button. You should be able to see the freshly installed wallpaper adorning the home screen of your TV whenever you hit the home button on your remote control.
