Themes aren’t the only thing about your profile that you can change on the Roblox page, there are a lot of other details that you can edit as you see fit. Below are some of these settings that you may modify to ensure that your Roblox profile is fully customized to your tastes.
The Basic Info Box
Clicking on your avatar’s icon on the home page will open the basic info page.
