Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro offers ample opportunities for customization of the interface, allowing you to turn a standard lock screen into an informative and stylish tool. the graphical shell MIUI, installed on the basis of the Android operating system, provides users with many hidden and explicit settings that are often ignored.
The right start screen configuration allows you to instantly receive notifications, control music, and see important information without unlocking your phone. In this article, we will discuss all aspects of personalization in detail, from changing wallpaper to adjusting complex scenarios of system behavior when calls arrive, you will learn how to make interaction with the device as comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
Many users are limited to standard settings, missing the opportunity to optimize the device to suit their habits. We will look not only at the basic features, but also at the advanced tools available in the settings menu, which will allow you to fully unleash the potential of your Redmi Note 10 Pro and create a unique visual style.
Basic setting of wallpaper and design style
The first step in personalization is always the choice of visual design, wallpaper sets the tone for the entire interface and can significantly affect the perception of information on the screen, and MIUI has a powerful tool called Themes, which allows you to download thousands of design options created by both designers and the user community.
To change the image, you need to go to Settings → Wallpaper and personalization. Here you will find several tabs, including Online, Local and Video. Choosing a static image reduces the load on the battery, whereas live wallpaper can consume more energy, but it looks spectacular. It is important to consider the 2400×1080 screen resolution for selecting quality sources.
- 🎨 Online themes allow you to download a ready-made package that changes icons, sounds and fonts at the same time.
- 🖼️ Local wallpapers allow you to set your own photo from the gallery or a photo taken by the camera.
- 🎥 Video wallpaper adds speakers, but require caution when used on AMOLED-matrix.
⚠️ Attention: The use of high-resolution video wallpapers can lead to accelerated battery discharge and heating of the case with frequent screen switching on.
The system allows you to assign different images to the lock screen and desktop, a useful feature for those who want to see minimalist backgrounds when working with applications, but prefer bright pictures when receiving notifications, and a feature called Wallpaper Carousel is available, which automatically changes images every time a device wakes up, drawing content from the online library or your gallery.
Font and text size management
The readability of the lock screen is directly dependent on the typeface and size of the typeface you choose. In Redmi Note 10 Pro, you can change not only the scale of the characters, but also their shape, and this is especially true for users with visual disabilities or those who prefer custom typography to create a unique style.
You can customize it through Settings → Screen → Text Size. This slider adjusts the scale of interface elements. However, for deeper customization, you should look at the Themes app and select the Fonts tab. Downloading third-party fonts can dramatically change the look of watches and widgets on a locked screen.
- 🔤 Standard fonts ensure maximum readability and compatibility with all applications.
- ✒️ Designer fonts add personality, but some characters may not display correctly.
- 📏 Text size adjustment affects the amount of information that can be placed on a single screen.
When installing heavy fonts with complex graphics, it is worth remembering the performance of rendering. Although the Snapdragon 732G processor installed in the Redmi Note 10 Pro does most of the work, excessive font detailing in combination with other elements can theoretically affect the smoothness of animations.

Customize Always On Display and Watches
Technology AMOLED, Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro display allows you to implement the Always On Display function (AOD). This one is setting the pixels to be active, displaying the time, date and notifications even when the screen is off, and it's not only convenient, it's energy efficient, because the black pixels are on the screen. AMOLED-The matrix is actually turned off and does not consume energy.
To activate the function, go to Settings → Always on screen and lock screen. Here you can choose the display style of the watch, its position and color scheme. Options are available with analog dials, minimalistic digital indicators and even captions. Some styles support animation when touching or receiving notifications.
| Parameter | Description | Impact on the battery |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule regime | Enabling AOD only at a predetermined time | Low. |
| Permanent regime | 24/7 display | Medium/High |
| On the occasion. | 10 seconds after notification | Minimum |
| Style "Stepher" | Displays progress-bar activity | Low. |
It's important to note that the "At Event" mode is the most economical. The screen only lights up when a new message or call comes in, and goes out after 10 seconds. It's the perfect balance between functionality and autonomy. Users who appreciate every percentage of charge can turn off the AOD completely and use the phone's lift to activate the screen.
💡
For maximum charge savings in AOD mode, set a work schedule, for example, from 8:00 to 23:00, so that the screen does not light up at night from random notifications.
Organization of widgets and labels
The lock screen in MIUI is not just a picture of a clock, it's an information panel, and you can put useful widgets on top and bottom of the watch, like the weather, pedometer, Bluetooth headphone battery status, or calendar, and you can get a summary of the data in one look.
To add or change widgets, you need to unlock your phone, go to the lock screen settings, and find "Widgets" or "Style of Watches." Depending on the version of MIUI, the interface may differ, but the logic remains the same: you choose a slot and assign an app to it. For example, the weather widget will be relevant for planning the day, and the step counter motivates you to activity.
- 🌤️ Weather: Shows current temperature and rainfall probability.
- 🔋 Charge of devices: displays the level of charge connected TWS-headphone.
- 📅 Calendar: Reminds us of today’s upcoming events.
Don't overload the lock screen with widgets. The excess information creates visual noise and prevents you from counting time quickly. The best solution is to use one or two of the most important elements for you. Also remember that some widgets require constant updates over the Internet, which can increase traffic and energy consumption in the background.
Set up notifications and priorities
Flow management is a key aspect of smartphone comfort. The Redmi Note 10 Pro lock screen allows you to flexibly configure the display of notifications. You can hide the content of messages from prying eyes, leaving only the sender’s name visible, or completely hide notifications from certain applications.
In the Settings menu → Notifications and status bar → Lock screen basic switches are available. Here you can enable formatting notifications in the style of iOS when they are grouped by application, or leave a classic list. For messengers with confidential correspondence (banks, private messages), it is recommended to configure the display through the “Notification settings” of a particular application.
⚠️ Note: If you hide the contents of notifications on the lock screen, the Reply function will not be available without fully unlocking the device.
Special attention should be paid to setting up "Important" notifications, MIUI can analyze incoming messages and mark the most urgent ones, they can be displayed as a priority or accompanied by a special sound signal, which helps to keep a call from the contact person on the emergency list, even if the phone is silent.

Additional functions and gestures
Beyond visual changes, the lock screen offers a range of functionality that makes navigation easier.Gesturals allow you to quickly launch frequently used applications like a camera or flashlight without going through the menu system. On the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, these features are implemented through side swipes or double tap.
In Settings → Additional Features → Gestures (or similar, depending on the firmware version), you can activate the camera by double pressing the power button or volume rocker. Pocket Mode is also available, which prevents accidental taps when the phone is in the bag, blocking the sensor when approaching the object.
Another useful option is "Mode in your pocket" and locking from random clicks. Algorithms use a proximity sensor and an accelerometer to determine the position of the smartphone. If the device is lying down on the screen or in a dark confined space, the sensitivity of the touchscreen decreases, which prevents dialing in your pocket or sending messages inadvertently.
💡
The use of side gestures and double taps reduces the time to access the camera and flashlight, which is critical in emergency situations.
