   And some of them have an interesting hurdle to jump over. On my Xiaomi   
   Redmi Note 10 5G I have access to a very limited number of themes for   
   wallpaper choice. There are "more" I can try to see, but if I do it   
   turns up with the same issue as if I take a photo myself (which could be   
   a completely black photo) and want to use that as wallpaper. That issue   
   is not being able to use any other theme unless I agree to Xiaomi's user   
   agreement and privacy policy (which they say I can opt out of once I've   
   opted in by looking in "Settings". So why make it necessary in the first   
   place?).   
      
   Fortunately one of their themes that I could use was a fairly dark   
   interplanetary picture, so I use that.   
      
   Why they insist on agreeing to their user agreement and privacy policy   
   before using a theme is beyond me. Well, no, it's not really, as it's   
   just another means of data burrowing.
