Hey Questers,


Just updated to OriginOS 6? The new "Light & Shadow" design language is gorgeous, but the real power lies in how you make it yours.


Here is your step-by-step guide to customizing the Control Centre on your iQOO device.

Choose Your Layout: Split vs. Merged

OriginOS 6 finally lets you decide how you want to access your controls.


Separate Mode (Classic iOS Style): Pull down from the right for Control Centre, left for Notifications.

Merge Mode (Classic Android): Everything in one swipe.


How to change it:

  • Settings > Notifications & Status Bar > Control Centre Style > Select Separate or Merge.

The "Atomic" Re-size

The hallmark of OriginOS is the "Atomic" architecture—you aren't stuck with standard icon sizes. You can make important toggles bigger for easier access.

How to do it:

  • Pull down the Control Centre.
  • Tap the Edit Icon (top right) or long-press a blank space.
  • Long-press any toggle (like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth).
  • Drag the corner to resize it from 1x1 to 2x1 (wide) or 2x2 (large square).

Customizing the "Light & Shadow" Aesthetics

OriginOS 6 introduces a glass-morphism look called "Light & Shadow Space." You can tweak how transparent or colorful the panel looks.

The Tweak:

  • Settings > Personalization > Control Centre Colors.
  • Monochrome: For a clean, minimal, matte look.
  • Translucent: Enables the new "Gradient Blur" that adapts to your wallpaper colors behind the glass.
  • Dynamic Glow: Turn this ON to make active toggles emit a soft light that follows your finger press.

Summary

  • Decide: Split or Merged view in Settings.
  • Resize: Long press toggles to make them 2x2 or 2x1.
  • Style: Enable "Dynamic Glow" for that new OriginOS 6 feel.
  • Flow: Use Smart Action toggles for mini-window multitasking.
