MIUI 11 is here to stay. A few days ago it updated the first batch of Xiaomi mobile models to the new version of its customization layer, bringing users such juicy news as a new application to control the use of the mobile and a dark mode that we can configure in a more convenient way. simple. Precisely, in this latest news we are going to stop and tell you everything about the new dark mode in MIUI 11, how to activate it and place a shortcut in the notification curtain, as well as program it to turn on and off at one Specific time, in case you don't want to have darkness all day.
How to correctly activate and program the dark mode in MIUI 11
The first of all is to teach us to activate the dark mode, because in MIUI 11 its design and location has changed somewhat. We are going to enter the 'settings' application on our mobile phone, which you will find to be shaped like a gear. Next, we look for the sun icon, section name 'Screen'. Here we will be able to configure numerous important elements of our mobile, such as the brightness level, activate the reading mode, configure the color scheme, the text size, the elements of the status bar, the full screen mode and, of course, dark mode. We search and select it. Thanks to this dark mode, as we are well explained in the section, it will help the applications not to use so much energy and our eyes rest from so much brightness.
This screen is divided into two distinct parts:
A top part in which we can activate and deactivate the dark mode with a simple switch. The change is made instantly, you will see how everything darkens and the screen is more pleasant to the eye this way. At night, especially, you will see the difference between using the mobile with the light mode and with the dark mode.
The lower part of the screen is dedicated so that we can program the dark mode to activate and deactivateat certain times of the day, in case you don't want to have the dark mode permanently activated. When activating the programming, the dark mode will be automatically deactivated (if you have activated it after hours) and the default time that appears programmed for said mode will appear, in this case, from 7 in the afternoon to 7 in the morning. To program a dark mode start time, click on 'Turn on' and a new screen will open where we can place the hours and minutes in which you want the dark mode to be activated. We do exactly the same with the 'Deactivate' section. The same screen will appear where we can configure the hours and minutes in which we prefer to have clear mode.
How to place the Dark Mode icon on the notification curtain
As you may already know, when lowering the notification curtain we have a panel with shortcut icons, and in MIUI 11 it comes with new icons, such as the one that activates the dark mode. To locate it, slide the panel to the right and find the sun and moon icon.
If you want to reorder the icons, you must press the one that says 'Edit'. The screen will expand and you will be able to reposition the icons to your liking, as well as eliminate those that you do not want to be in the curtain, because you use very little or simply do not use it in your day to day. In this simple way you can always have the dark mode icon at hand to avoid having to enter the settings of your Xiaomi phone.
