What New Features Does the Flux Theme Have on ColorOS 16

The Flux theme in ColorOS 16 expands system-level personalization by introducing new ways to customize wallpapers, lock screens, widgets, and the Always-On Display (AOD). These updates focus on visual depth, motion, and AI-assisted styling, allowing users to tailor their device appearance more precisely while maintaining system consistency. Below is an overview of the key new features available with the Flux theme on ColorOS 16.

Video Wallpapers with Depth Effects

ColorOS 16 adds support for using videos as wallpapers on the lock screen. When enabled, the system applies dynamic depth-of-field effects that automatically separate the subject from the background. This makes the main subject stand out visually while preserving background motion, creating a layered and more immersive lock screen experience.

AI Motion Wallpapers

AI Motion wallpapers animate static photos by applying cinematic motion effects. These wallpapers introduce slow-motion-style transitions that add subtle movement and depth, giving still images a more dynamic appearance without manual editing.

AI Image-to-Text for Wallpapers

The Flux theme introduces an AI Image-to-Text feature that generates text to match the visual style of a wallpaper. With one tap, the system analyzes the wallpaper and creates complementary text using available font styles.

Key points:

• Supports static wallpapers, motion photo wallpapers, and video wallpapers

• Video wallpaper text is generated based on the last frame

• Currently supports English only

Full-Screen Always-On Display (AOD)

A new full-screen AOD mode allows time, widgets, and system information to be displayed across the entire screen rather than in a limited area.

Important behavior notes:

• Full-screen AOD does not support continuous all-day display

• The screen turns off after 5 seconds

• Users can wake the display by tapping the screen or raising the device

Lock Screen Widgets Support

ColorOS 16 allows selected widgets, such as Calculator and Notes, to be added directly to the lock screen. This provides quicker access to commonly used tools without unlocking the device.

Expanded Clock Style Options

Clock themes now support additional clock style settings. Users can customize how time is displayed across the lock screen, AOD, and theme layouts, improving visual consistency across different screens.

Dynamic Depth Effect Controls

When a live photo or video is set as the wallpaper, users can enable or adjust the dynamic depth effect from the lock screen editing mode. This lets users control how foreground subjects and background layers interact visually.

Note:

The Flux theme in ColorOS 16 enhances personalization through video wallpapers, AI-driven motion and text generation, expanded AOD layouts, lock screen widgets, and improved depth effects. These updates provide greater visual flexibility while remaining integrated with system-level design controls.
