Complete guide to install themes in MIUI 11

The first thing we are going to do is activate the theme store on our phone. To do this, we have to change the region in the settings section. Relax, it is an action that will not have a negative impact on your mobile. In addition, we will choose a region with Spanish language so that nothing changes on the phone, like Andorra.

Open the 'Themes' application that you will find between the different screens of the MIUI launcher. As you can see, the application is divided into three parts: a first in which you can see, as a showcase, different topics, which you can access by clicking on the image; a second part of the collection of wallpapers and a third in which you can configure the different elements of the theme. But let's not anticipate events and move on to the installation of a theme.

All you have to do is find the theme you want to download and click on ' Download for free '. Once the task is completed, we will click on 'Apply' and the system will restart. You will be able to see, below, the new theme already installed on your mobile.

How to install different parts of a theme

MIUI 11 themes are divided by elements. We have the wallpaper, the lock style, the icons, etc. Once we have downloaded several themes, we can place elements of different themes on our phone at the same time. Thus, we will make the perfect theme to our liking. To do this, we are going to go to the third screen of the 'Themes' application and then click on 'Customize theme'.

In this screen we see the different elements that we can select to install them one by one, to our liking. We have the blocking style, the status bar, the icons, the favorite tray… All we have to do is enter each of these sections and select the elements we want. And voila, we have our custom theme to taste.
