How to Make a Dark Theme in Wildberries on Xiaomi Phone

Modern Xiaomi smartphone users are increasingly thinking about the comfort of the visual interface, especially in the evening. The bright white background of popular marketplaces such as Wildberries can cause eye fatigue and interfere with rest. Many owners of devices based on MIUI or the new HyperOS are looking for a way to activate the “night mode” inside the store app to reduce the load on vision and save battery power.

Unfortunately, Wildberries developers don’t always provide an explicit theme switching button in the service’s settings. However, Xiaomi’s ecosystem has powerful forced color inversion tools and system themes to solve this problem. In this article, we’ll take a look at all the methods available, from standard Android settings to using advanced features of the manufacturer’s shell.

You'll learn how to set up a dark theme to make the interface look neat and the text stay readable. We'll look at the nuances of working with different versions of the operating system and tell you what to do if standard methods don't work. A deep dive into the display settings will help you personalize the experience of using the application as efficiently as possible.

System settings of the display and dark theme Android

The first and most obvious step to take before trying to set up a particular application is to activate a global dark theme in the system.The Android operating system on which Xiaomi smartphones are based has a built-in mechanism for forcing the interfaces of compatible applications to switch. If Wildberries itself has a hidden flag of a dark theme, it is activated from here.

To get to the right settings, you need to open the main settings menu for your device. Find the partition that deals with the appearance of the system, which can be called differently in different versions of firmware, usually the Screen or Display item, where all the brightness, color reproduction and design schemes are concentrated.

Inside this menu, you'll find a Dark Mode or Dark Theme switch, and once activated, the interface will change instantly, but the Wildberries app may not react immediately because it caches its visual elements, which requires a full reboot of the program or the smartphone itself to apply the changes.

⚠️ Warning: Forcing dark themes to be included through system settings can cause some colors to be displayed in product cards incorrectly. Photos can become too contrasting and prices can become poorly readable on a black background, so always check the final result.

Not all interface elements of the application obey system commands, but Wildberries developers could rigidly prescribe a white background for certain windows, ignoring the system preferences of the user, in which case we will have to resort to more specific configurations of the MIUI shell.

Use of design themes in MIUI and HyperOS

A unique feature of Xiaomi smartphones is the powerful Theme app, which allows you to change not only icons, but also system colors, including settings backgrounds and some third-party apps.This is one of the most effective ways to make the Wildberries interface dark if the standard Android mode does not cope.

You'll need to run the Themes app on your device. You'll need to search for dark-colored queries like "Dark Mode," "Black," or "Night Theme," and you'll need to pay attention to the themes, some of which only change wallpaper, and others change the system colors of the interface.

After selecting the appropriate design, click Download and then Apply. The system may suggest selecting components for use: make sure that the items responsible for System and Settings are marked. After applying the theme, open Wildberries and evaluate the result.

If a standard theme store doesn't work, you can use third-party resources, but with caution. Official themes are tested for security, whereas modified files may contain errors. It's best to use only proven, high-rated themes from authors specializing in Dark Mode.

The “Enlarged Text” function as a trigger for inversion

There is a little-known method that often helps activate hidden display modes in MIUI shell applications. It involves special features. Changing font size can force the application interface to be redrawn, and in some versions of Wildberries this “wakes up” native support for a dark theme.

To use this method, go to settings along the Settings path → Advanced Settings → Special features. Find the section that is responsible for vision or text size. Try changing the standard font size to a little larger or smaller, and then return it back.

Sometimes it helps to enable High Contrast Text, which is a feature for people with visual impairments, but it changes the color scheme of the interface, making the background darker and the text brighter. Once you turn on this option, run Wildberries and check if the color scheme has changed.

• 📱 Open the settings of special features in the phone menu.
• 👁️ Find the Visual Effects section or the Improved Visibility section».
• 🎨 Experiment with the slider of contrast and inversion of colors.
• ✅ Restart the Wildberries app to apply changes.

This method is more of a workaround than a standard solution, and can be unstable: in one application window, the theme may be dark and in another it may be white again, but for some users, it becomes the only way to reduce the brightness of the screen at night without installing additional software.

“Paper” mode and vision protection on Xiaomi

If your primary goal is less black background than reducing harmful blue radiation and overall brightness, Xiaomi smartphones offer a great built-in solution called Read Mode, or Paper. This filter puts a warm yellowish hue on the entire screen that mimics an e-book.

You can activate this function through the control center (top-down curtain) or in the display settings. Unlike a dark theme, the read mode does not change the color of the interface to black, but makes white “dirty” and warm, which is much more comfortable for the eyes in the dark.

In Screen → Read Mode, you can select the "Paper" option, in which the Wildberries app text will look like it's printed on an old newspaper, which doesn't make the subject "dark" in the classical sense, but solves the problem of eye fatigue even more effectively than just inverting colors.

💡

For maximum comfort at night, combine Dark Theme and Reading Mode. Dark Theme will remove the white background, and Reading mode will soften the residual glow of the pixels.

It is important to distinguish between these concepts: a dark theme changes the color code of the interface elements, and a reading mode is a post-processing image at the display matrix level. For owners of AMOLED screens in Xiaomi smartphones, a dark theme is preferable, since it actually turns off black pixels, saving energy.

Comparison of night mode activation methods

To make it easier for you to choose the right way, we have prepared a comparison table that will help you understand which method will best suit your Xiaomi model and the version of the Wildberries application, each option has its pros and cons depending on the use situation.

As you can see from the table, using themes often produces the most stable result for applications that do not have their own dark theme. Android system setup is good, but depends on the goodwill of the app developers.

If you use an older phone model with an IPS screen, the battery savings from a dark theme will be minimal, in which case it is better to focus on setting the brightness and using reading mode, so as not to distort the colors of the goods when buying.

Solving Display Problems and Frequent Errors

Even after you've done all the instructions, you might find that Wildberries persists in white, and often the problem is the app's cache, and the app could remember the old display settings and not want to change them on the fly.

To solve this problem, you need to clear the cache. Go to Settings → Apps → All applications, search the Wildberries list and select Clear → Clear the cache. Don't confuse it with clearing the data, otherwise you will have to re-sign in to your account.

It's also worth checking if you have an update to the app itself installed. Wildberries developers are constantly making changes to the code, and in new versions, support for a dark theme may appear or disappear. Go to Google Play or AppGallery and make sure you have the latest version.

⚠️ Note: If you use modified versions of the app(s) to include a dark theme, be aware of security risks.Input of credit card details in an unofficial client can lead to theft of funds.

Sometimes the Android version and app conflict causes crashes. If nothing helps, try uninstalling the app and installing it again. When you first start, the system must correctly identify the active theme and apply the appropriate styles.

Additional tips for setting up the interface

For owners of Xiaomi’s flagship high-resolution models, it makes sense to pay attention to the refresh rate. Combined with a dark theme, the high hertz (90Hz or 120Hz) makes scrolling through the tape of goods smoother and more enjoyable, less eye-tiring.

Remember automation. You can set a schedule in the theme settings, for example, a dark theme can turn on automatically when the sun goes down, which will save you from having to manually switch settings every morning and evening.

Remember, visual comfort is a subjective concept. Someone likes deep black on AMOLED matrices, and someone prefers dark gray to avoid the plume effect when scrolling through text. Experiment with different themes from Themes store to find the perfect balance.

💡

The comprehensive use of a system dark theme, proper design of MIUI and visual protection mode gives the best result for comfortable shopping at night.
