Schedule Dark Theme
Dark theme is available on almost every smartphone now but Pixel 4a comes with a feature to schedule your Dark theme so you don’t have to manually enable and disable it. This feature also comes with automatic enable at sunset and disable on sunrise which is a pretty handy feature.
To enable that, go to Settings > Display > Dark Theme, here you will see an option to enable and disable the feature. You will also see a drop-down menu with two more features; Turns on at the custom time and Turns on from sunset to sunrise. Both the features are self-explanatory so you can enable either of them according to your need.
Always on Display
Always on disable is the most needed feature for smartphones right now. Since Pixel 4a comes with an OLED display, why not use it to the fullest. The Pixel 4a comes with a stock Android OS so you may not see any themes or anything for AOD but you will see the basic info which you may need.
The always-on display is not listed in the setting as “Always on display“, so to enable this, go to Settings > Display > Lock Screen. Here you can enable the Always show time and info to enable the AOD. There are no customization options. But you will be able to see the time, weather, notification, and battery status on the always-on display.
Styles
Android 11 comes with some new features to customize the user interface a little bit. You get to change the Font, icons, and of course the wallpaper on Pixel 4a. There are some presets for these styles but you can always create a new custom one.
You will find the Styles tab within the Wallpaper selection app which you can summon by holding down on the hole screen and select Styles & Wallpapers. Once you are in the Wallpaper selection app, tap on the Style tab in the bottom bar. Here you will be able to select the presets from the list. You can also select a custom theme to change the fonts and stuff on your own.
