Cat 3D bursts onto the screen with layered depth, glossy gradients, and kinetic swipe effects. The lock screen glows when you pull up, while the home screen tiles appear to float above a dark, grain‑textured backdrop. Charging animation pulses through the status bar, turning the battery icon into a subtle light‑wave. The theme also adds animated GIF icons for messaging, music, and camera shortcuts, giving each tap a moment of motion.

Compatibility Checklist & Known Quirks
- OS Versions: Tested on HyperOS 1.x and MIUI 12+. Works on newer builds, but some custom gesture settings may need toggling. - Device Types: Optimized for flagship screens (1080p+). On lower‑resolution phones, the 3‑D layers compress slightly, but the core experience remains. - Dynamic Icons: Require the built‑in MIUI/HyperOS icon animation engine. Disable in Settings → Animation if you encounter lag. - Charging Effect: Can be turned off by tapping the status bar while charging. Useful for battery‑saver mode. - Potential Conflicts: Third‑party lock‑screen apps may override the swipe‑up animation. Disable or uninstall conflicting apps before applying.Installation Expectations & Step‑by‑Step Guide
1. Backup – Export current theme via Settings → Theme → Backup. Guarantees a quick revert. 2. Download – Locate the “Cat 3D MTZ Theme” file in the archive section of miuithemesdl. Tap the download button; the file saves asCat 3D.mt z.
3. Transfer – If you downloaded on a PC, copy the MTZ file to the device’s Downloads folder.
4. Apply – Open Settings → Theme → My Themes → Import. Select the MTZ file, confirm.
5. Fine‑Tune – After applying, go to Settings → Display → Animation Speed. Set to “Medium” for smooth 3‑D transitions without draining battery.
