Stock interfaces get monotonous quickly. While Xiaomi's HyperOS delivers smooth system animations and a clean baseline, the default aesthetics can feel plain after a few weeks. If you want punchy visuals without cluttering your system or bogging down day-to-day fluid performance, finding a balanced custom layout is essential.
The Colourful V2 theme, created by designer Ajay, tackles standard interface fatigue by pairing vibrant typography with standalone depth-effect wallpapers and refined system icons. Built specifically for modern Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco handsets running HyperOS and MIUI, it bridges the gap between clean minimalism and playful customization.

| Compatibility | HyperOS / MIUI | Vivid Layering and True Depth Effect Lockscreen |
The centerpiece of Colourful V2 is its dynamic lockscreen setup. Instead of settling for flat, static art, this theme leverages iOS-inspired depth layering to tuck the time and notification widgets neatly behind elements of your wallpaper.
Achieving this depth effect requires a straightforward setup if you are applying the extra depth wallpaper pack. You create a local directory named _bz inside your device storage. Inside this directory, place your primary background image as 0.jpg and your transparent foreground cutout as 0.png. Once placed, wake your lockscreen, double-tap the lower control zone, and select the folder wallpaper mode. The lockscreen engine parses both files simultaneously, projecting the time display directly between the backdrop and foreground subject. The visual output feels native, precise, and completely transforms the wake experience on AMOLED screens.

Crisp Neon Accents and System-Wide Polish
Moving past the lockscreen, Colourful V2 overhauls daily system touchpoints. The icon mask applies subtle rounded geometry across both system apps and common third-party tools, ditching the inconsistent square-and-circle chaos of default installations. The icon color palette embraces saturated, neon-leaning hues that pop distinctly against darker or blended wallpapers.
The system skinning carries straight into the HyperOS Control Center and notification shade. Toggle buttons swap out standard flat highlights for vibrant contrast tiles, making active connections like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Flashlight immediately obvious at a glance. Secondary utility interfaces—including the stock Phone Dialer, Settings menu categories, and Messaging panels—adopt tailored background tinting and sharper divider lines that create a cohesive software experience across the entire system layer.
Ideal Device Pairings and Daily Performance
At 47.1 MB, Colourful V2 brings custom assets without stuffing unnecessary background scripts into your RAM. It runs exceptionally well on mid-range devices like the Poco X-series or Redmi Note lineup, where bloated themes often introduce micro-stutters during swipe gestures.
Users who prefer high-contrast wallpapers or who own phones with 120Hz AMOLED panels will appreciate this setup the most. The deep black levels of OLED screens make the vivid icon accents and depth-isolated lockscreen clock stand out with striking clarity. Because the animations rely on standard HyperOS transitions rather than heavy custom scripts, battery consumption remains virtually identical to stock system baselines.
Seamless Installation: Official Store vs MTZ Import
Depending on your current software channel, loading Colourful V2 onto your device follows one of two routes:
- Global / Indian Stable ROMs: Search for the theme title directly inside your system Theme Store app or use the direct theme store link to trigger the official launcher. Once loaded, hit Download, tap Apply, and allow the assets to populate your system cache.
- Custom ROMs (Xiaomi.eu, HyperOS CN, EliteROM): If your ROM supports manual
.mtzimports, download the 47.1 MB standalone file. Launch the Themes app, navigate to your offline profile, select Import, and route your file manager to the downloaded.mtzarchive. The theme will register inside your installed library, ready for one-tap deployment.
Troubleshooting note: Whenever you apply deep system-level themes affecting the dialer, control toggles, and status bar icons, perform a quick manual device reboot. A fresh reboot clears older UI caching and prevents overlapping icon labels or status bar clipping.
