Compatibility	HyperOS	MIUI (global)	Glass‑Infused Aesthetic That Pops

LINEA embraces the glassmorphism trend with a light, frosted surface that feels both airy and premium. The wallpaper set rotates between bright sky, landmark, and wildlife scenes, each paired with a subtle translucency that lets the home screen breathe. Icons sit behind a thin, semi‑transparent layer, giving the illusion of depth without sacrificing legibility. The lock screen showcases a tall, vertical clock that glows softly against the background, while the weather widget mirrors the same glass effect, creating a cohesive visual language across every panel.

The color palette leans toward cool blues and soft whites, but the theme does not lock you into a single hue. Accent colors adapt to the chosen wallpaper, allowing the UI to stay vibrant on a sunny beach shot or muted on a misty mountain view. The overall feel is modern yet understated—perfect for users who want a premium look without the flash of neon or heavy gradients.

Ideal Users & Daily Experience

LINEA targets three main audiences: 1. Minimalist enthusiasts – Those who appreciate clean lines, subtle shadows, and a UI that recedes into the background, letting content shine. 2. Glass‑morphism fans – Users who have followed the recent design wave and want a fully integrated experience, from icons to the control center. 3. Xiaomi/Redmi power users – Owners of Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO devices who regularly customize their ROMs and expect a theme that works flawlessly on stock HyperOS or MIUI builds.

In daily use, the transparent panels reduce visual clutter. The Always‑On Display inherits the same glass effect, displaying time and notifications in a way that feels like a floating pane rather than a solid block. Navigation gestures remain smooth; the theme does not interfere with system performance, thanks to its modest file size and efficient asset handling.

Compatibility Matrix & Device Reach

LINEA declares compatibility with HyperOS 2.0, HyperOS 3.0, and all MIUI versions that ship on global devices. In practice, the theme has been tested on the following flagship and mid‑range models: - Xiaomi 13 series - Redmi Note 12 series - POCO X5 Pro - Mi 12 Lite

Older devices running MIUI 11 or custom ROMs based on MIUI 12 may still apply the .mtz file, but users should expect minor scaling issues on non‑standard screen ratios. The theme’s assets are vector‑based where possible, minimizing distortion. For custom ROM owners, the import process works identically to stock installations—simply place the .mtz file in the Theme Store’s import section.

Installation Walkthrough & What to Expect

1. Download the .mtz file – Use the “LINEA Theme mtz File” button on the page; the file size is 57.25 MB. 2. Open Theme Store – Launch the pre‑installed Theme Store app on your device. 3. Navigate to “My Themes” → “Import” – Tap the import icon at the bottom of the screen. 4. Select the downloaded .mtz – Confirm import; the store will parse the package. 5. Apply – Press “Apply” on the preview screen. The UI will refresh instantly. 6. Reboot (optional) – A quick restart clears any residual overlays and ensures the lock screen clock renders correctly.

During installation, the Theme Store may request permission to access storage; grant it to allow the import. If the “Official Theme Store Link” fails, switch to a different browser (Chrome or the native Xiaomi Browser) before tapping the download button again. After applying, verify that the lock screen clock, weather widget, and control center all display the frosted effect. If any element appears solid, a reboot typically resolves the issue.
