Top 10 Free Themes of 2020

Next, we’ll talk about universal themes for Miyuai 11 and Miyuai 12, which will appeal to users regardless of gender and age. The themes below are supplied through the Xiaomi brand store.

For MIUI 11

The selection includes original and interesting themes that are suitable for MIUI 11 firmware. You can find them in the themes application by name.

Cat In Dark

Dark theme with a cat image. Suitable for those who do not like plain black wallpaper. The main feature of this screensaver is its large and clear icons, made in a gradient purple color . The status bar, settings menu and dialer have been repainted dark with crimson elements. The clock and date widget is standard. By the way, here you will learn how to enable the system dark theme on MIUI 11.

UI 12

A full-fledged theme in the style of MIUI 12 on MIUI 11. The darkened hemisphere of Mars is depicted on the lock screen, on the left side there is the time, day of the week and date. On the desktop is a picture of a detailed surface of the planet. The curtain is transparent, and the rest of the interface, including shortcuts, is unchanged.

Note: On Miyuai 12 the space wallpaper is animated. That is, when you unlock the screen, you see how the surface of the planet is gradually approaching. There is no such effect on the UI.

Elegant Pure

The complete opposite of the black theme. Will be of interest to users who love light designs . The main colors are soft blue and pastel peach. The icons are also in soft colors, which is why they blend a little into the background. The settings menu and status bar have been changed, but there are no significant differences with the factory MIUI theme.

Discovery

Technology theme in the style of the Matrix. There are many elements on the “live” lock screen :

• digital time;
• air temperature statistics;
• music player;
• battery charge;
• detailed date.

The wallpaper is dark with blue accents. All icons are in the same design and color. The status bar has a greenish tint, and the Contacts and Calls apps have a digital look . The settings didn’t change much, only the background was made blue with turquoise inscriptions.

Vesna_m11.v2

A highly developed topic that may seem too simple at first. Despite the usual lock screen and gray, unremarkable wallpaper, everything is very well detailed .

The shortcuts are large and noticeable, the clock widget is animated. The status bar, dialer and contacts have been completely redesigned . The settings menu is completely different from the Xiaomi interface. Moreover, the appearance of each sub-item in the settings has also been changed. We recommend trying this theme for users who want a simple, but at the same time original design.

For MIUI 12

For owners of Miyuai 12, the following selection of the best themes is suitable.

Super Wallpaper

The most famous theme that appeared in MIUI 12. The “live” screensaver is made in a space style with an image of Mars or Earth. The picture smoothly transitions from Always on Display (AMOLED) or lock screen (IPS) to the desktop. At first the planet appears distant, but its surface gradually approaches. If you still don’t like the native themes and want to experiment, you can disable this interface and download a new one.

Android Q v12

A simple and concise interface in the style of “pure” Android . The lock screen and main screen have a landscape image. The clock widget is clear and minimalistic. The icons are round in shape and are clearly visible. The status bar and launcher have been completely redrawn, as has the curtain with blue “pressed” elements.

iOS v12

Great iOS theme for MIUI. The wallpaper is red and black, there is no animation. The large clock is located at the top center. Icons, dialer and settings menu are completely in iPhone style . From the lock screen, you can turn on the flashlight or open the camera app. The launcher has a black background, and the notification shade is transparent: enabled items light up in blue.

Cartoon v12

Dark theme with bright accents in the form of multi-colored blots. The icons are different from the standard shortcuts on Miyuai. Each label is a different color, so it blends in a bit with the colorful background. The dialer, settings menu and messages in a blue gradient color look stylish. While charging, a cartoon guy with a battery in his hands appears on the locked screen.

Color easy v12

Dark theme , which will significantly save battery power and ease eye strain. The wallpaper is completely black, only at the bottom of the screen there is a picture of the road and a search bar. The icons are bright and pleasant. The widget contains the time and date; the weather forecast is not displayed. “Calls”, “Contacts” and “Messages” in white.

Let us remind you that at any time you can remove the theme and return the standard one to your Xiaomi phone. This will help if crashes and errors appear with non-native themes.
