RooMate 6.0.4
This update makes RooMate more personal, improves announcements, and gives the school calendar a clearer source of truth.
- Adds seven complete app themes with a balanced collection of light and dark choices.
- Introduces OLED Black with true-black surfaces and restrained glow.
- Adds Roo Light, Sunrise, Courtyard, Roo Dark, and Midnight alongside the automatic System theme.
- Redesigns the theme picker as a visual gallery with live previews and clearer selection details.
- Lets everyone choose from the full theme collection during onboarding.
- Improves contrast for text, buttons, feature colors, and selected states throughout the app.
- Keeps the menu bar companion and floating timer in sync with the selected theme.
- Adds a dedicated Announcements center, quick access from Today and the Navigate menu, and one-time alerts for published announcements when RooMate notifications are enabled.
- Improves announcement loading and validation so invalid Google responses cannot silently replace usable information.
- Keeps valid intentionally empty announcement, Club Directory, and Special Schedule feeds in sync without mistaking outages for real removals.
- Adds an official School Calendar workspace for published special schedules, closures, breaks, and school-year dates.
- Distinguishes confirmed special schedules from days that are still waiting for exact bell times, with automatic refreshes and clearer status across Today and Schedule.
- Improves schedule empty states, school-break context, future-day messaging, and all-day event date handling.
RooMate 6.0.4 requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
