How to Change Themes on Realme Phones
Realme phones have gained significant popularity among gadget enthusiasts for their excellent value for money. As a brand under BBK Electronics, Realme manages to deliver impressive specifications at competitive prices.
Gone are the days of relying on OPPO's ColorOS. Realme now features its own intuitive and visually appealing user interface, Realme UI. While it still includes some pre-installed apps, the interface stands out for its sleek design and user-friendly navigation.
If you're a Realme user, you can easily customize the appearance of your phone by changing its theme. This is one of the simplest ways to refresh your phone's look and keep things interesting.
For those unfamiliar with the process, here's a straightforward guide to help you change your Realme phone's theme.
How to Change the Overall Theme
The most straightforward and official way to change the theme on your realme smartphone is by using the built-in Theme Store app.
This app gives you a wide range of themes organized into different categories. While many themes are free to download and apply, some premium themes require a purchase.
To get started, open the Theme Store on your realme device. You can find it in the app drawer by typing "Theme Store" in the search bar and tapping on the app icon. Once inside, swipe right or select the Themes menu to explore the collection.
Browse through the available themes and pick one that suits your preferences. For example, if you choose a theme called "Pour out blessings", tap on it to open its details page.
Here, you’ll find information such as the description, download count, and file size. You can also swipe through the preview images to see how the theme will look on your phone.
If the theme feels right, tap Apply to start the process. Wait for the download to complete (indicated by a progress bar reaching 100%), and the theme will automatically be applied to your device.
That’s it! You’ve successfully given your realme phone a fresh new look.
How to Install a Downloaded Theme
The earlier method explained how to search, download, and apply themes directly from the Theme Store interface. However, you may also want to apply a theme that you’ve already downloaded.
To do this, open the Theme Store app and tap the Me menu located in the bottom-right corner. From there, select the Downloads option.
On the Downloads page, you’ll see all the themes you’ve previously downloaded. For instance, if you want to switch back to the "Full Screen Milky Way" theme, simply tap on it and select Apply to activate the theme.
That’s it! Your phone’s theme has now been updated using the Downloads page. If you’d like to revert to another downloaded theme, just follow the same steps. This method is particularly convenient as it saves time and data since you don’t need to re-download the theme.
How to Change Lock Screen, Wallpaper, and Font
Did you know? The Theme Store not only lets you change the overall theme but also allows you to customize individual visual elements like the lock screen, wallpaper, and fonts. You can even select live wallpapers to add a dynamic touch to your display.
The process is simple and similar to changing a theme. Whether it’s wallpaper, the lock screen, or fonts, the steps remain the same. For instance, if you want to change the font, open the Theme Store and select the Fonts menu.
Let’s say you want to apply a font called Futura-Lig Hello. Tap on the font to open its details page, where you’ll find a preview of how it looks. If it suits your style, simply tap Apply, and the font will be installed.
And there you have it! The new font is now applied, and text across your device, such as chat messages, menu labels, and icons, will reflect the selected style.
The same method can be used to change wallpapers, live wallpapers, or even ringtone videos—just navigate to the appropriate category.
Using the Theme Store app is the safest and most practical way to customize your realme phone. Unlike third-party apps, the Theme Store minimizes the risk of malware or viruses.
Plus, there’s no need to search through Google or external websites. Everything you need—whether it’s themes, fonts, or wallpapers—is available in one place, ready to download and apply in just a few steps.
