Smartphones from Xiaomi are produced and sold on the MIUI operating system . Among most mobile OS, MIUI is special. In addition to the usual advantages in the form of a stylish appearance and fast operation, it allows its users to customize the smartphone to suit themselves and equip it to their taste. Thus, MIUI subscribers can change the size of their smartphone desktop icons. This can be done in two ways: using the settings menu (without the need to use third-party applications) or through deep research into the system functions of the phone. In turn, other manufacturers of bare Android phones cannot provide similar functions to their own users.
How to change icon size on Xiaomi
Make sure that the “Desktop” on your phone is updated, to do this, open the settings, find the item “Component update” , enter it. Ideally, the list should be empty, which means that all necessary Xiaomi programs are updated.
Now let's move on to changing the size of shortcuts on Xiaomi, to do this, find the
"Desktop" . In the list, find the line “Icon size” .
There are 5 options available to choose from, from small to huge. For convenience, there is a preview at the top of the screen. Return to content
Method 2: Third Party Solutions
You can solve this problem using third-party tools - specialized applications - icon packs, their managers or launchers.
Option 1: Icon packs
There are a great many icon packs for Android - all of them are available for download on the Google Play Store. Let's use the Delta Icon Pack as an example.
Working with such programs is incredibly simple - launch it, and after loading the main menu, click “Apply Delta”.
Another activation method is to open the menu (three bars at the top) and click on “Apply”.
Option 2: Iconpack Managers
The creators of collections of icons do not always provide tools for managing them - in this situation, separate manager programs are useful, one of which, Awesome Icons, is what we want to offer.
- First of all, find the required icon pack in the Play Market and install it on your device - we will use the H2O Free Icon Pack solution as an example.
- After launching the program, its main interface will open - it is a list of installed programs, with icons available for each.
- Awesome Icons is also interesting because it allows you to set not only preset options as an icon, but also select your own images - for example, from the gallery or take a photo with your camera.
Please note that these options will require you to grant the app the appropriate permissions.
- To use icon packs, call up the program menu by clicking on the three bars at the top left and select the item of the same name.
- A list of collections installed on your phone with icons will open - tap on the one you need to select.
If it is empty, open the menu (three dots) and use the “Refresh” option.
- After loading the icon pack, a list of installed software will open - if a suitable icon is found in the collection, it will be applied automatically.
Thus, thanks to the Awesome Icons application, you can set a completely arbitrary image as an icon for the software on your device.
Option 3: Launchers
Many third-party launchers include the function of customizing the appearance. One of these solutions is Nova Launcher, popular among users.
- Having switched to the shell, make a long tap on an empty space on the desktop - the change interface should appear, click “Settings” in it.
- Next, use the “Appearance” option.
- Tap on the “Icon Style” item.
- In this window you can configure the display of icons - for example, you can access the option to enable the adaptive option.
- The actual change occurs by clicking on the “Icon Theme” item - a selection interface will open, which will display both built-in application and third-party sets. Tapping on the corresponding item will immediately apply the selected element.

How to hide icons
In the same menu, find the line of the same name, for which the status is “Normal” .
Changing it to "From Application Menu" will significantly change the interface setup. The list of installed applications can be called up with a separate gesture, and on the working area of the screen you are free to display only the icons of those programs that you often use.
This technique allows you to make the space cleaner, without clutter and visual overload.

Where to download icons for MIUI 11?
Separately, icon sets can be downloaded from the Play Store, but now I want to show how to do this using the “Themes” system function, because it is built into all Xiaomi smartphones, free and convenient. But the main thing is that it is safe; everything that gets into its catalog undergoes thorough checks and testing.
Go to settings, find the line “Themes” .
Next, select the set from those presented whose shortcuts you like, and download it, but do not use it.

Type “Control Center” into the search bar
New features of MIUI 12
Released in April 2021, the MIUI 12 shell appeared before its users in a completely new form. The interface is visually cleaner, with wide spaces between different blocks of text and images on a bright white background. New visual elements have appeared to complement the information displayed by the interface. using its own physics animation engine, it took the rendering engine to a whole new level. This was achieved by combining the MAML illustration engine, the Folme animation engine and the MiRednder rendering engine.
Using the listed engines, Xiaomi has implemented beautiful and smooth animation effects. These include dynamic rounded corners, advanced color mixing, real-time blur at the control level, motion in physical space, and dynamic fonts. Users' impressions of the new engine are very positive, which inspired the company's further steps to improve the user interface of its system.
