If you’ve already figured out how to swap Comic Sans for a cleaner script inside MB WhatsApp, congratulations — you’ve cleared the tutorial level.
To make a messaging app feel like your own, you need to mix colors, stickers, and layouts. The best MB WhatsApp designs aren’t just about fancy fonts; they are the ones that feel truly personal to you. If your WhatsApp still looks boring after changing the text style, this guide will show you how to completely customize your experience.
When we say WhatsApp customizes, we’re really talking about five visual layers working together:
- Global theme (the skeleton)
- Chat bubbles + ticks + font (the mid-layer)
- Header/nav/icon pack (the trim)
- Personalised sticker packs (the expressive layer)
- Per-contact custom notifications (the functional-aesthetic bridge)
Fonts sit at layer 2, and they’re maybe 15% of the equation. Let’s rebuild from the ground up.
Customise WhatsApp themes
The best part about MB WhatsApp is its theme engine. While the official app only offers a basic dark mode, MB lets you download various themes or use a color picker to design your own custom look.
What you can actually change here
- Primary/secondary / accent colors across the whole UI
- MBiOS theme packs that mimic iPhone-style bottom navigation, refined status rings, and Apple’s emoji set on Android
- Navigation bar icon sets — swap the dull defaults for outlined, filled, gradient, neon, whatever
- Header color + background for the home screen, not just chats
Pro tip: Avoid choosing colors just because they look good. Instead, use a simple three-color set:
- Background: Dark shades like navy or charcoal.
- Chat Bubbles: Soft pastels or rich, deep colors.
- Highlights: One bright color for things like the send button or checkmarks.
A unified design is much more effective than a messy mix of colors.
You can find MB’s theme store under MB Settings > Themes. It allows you to preview designs and save your current setup before trying anything new. If you choose an MBiOS pack, it will move your navigation to the bottom tabs, which completely changes the look and feel of the app.
WhatsApp Customize Chat Bubbles, Ticks, and Font
I have already covered how to import font packs and sticker packs in a previous article. I’ll show you some easy outfit ideas here.
MB lets you:
- Change chat bubble shape and color
- Swap tick marks — classic double-check, outline, heart-shaped, custom PNG if you’re extra
- Change font family globally
- Adjust font size without zooming like a grandpa
Some combos that actually work:
| Vibe | Theme base | Bubble (out) | Tick | Font |
| iOS clone | White/light gray | Apple-blue | Classic thin | San Francisco-ish |
| Moody dark | Deep charcoal | Muted teal | Outline white | Roboto Mono |
| Pastel soft | Cream | Dusty rose | Heart tiny | Rounded sans |
| Cyberpunk | Near-black | Neon cyan | Angular custom | Condensed bold |
The real secret: bubble color + tick style + font need to agree with your theme, or the whole thing looks like a ransom note.
WhatsApp Customize Header, Home Screen, and the details
Most people change bubbles and stop. But MB also lets you mess with:
- Home screen header color + gradient
- Action bar icons
- Fab color and icon
- Status ring color and thickness
- Call screen layout tweaks
Even though these design areas are small, they are seen constantly. For instance, you notice the header every time you open the app. If you use a dark blue theme but leave the action button green, the mismatch will eventually start to bother you.
Personalised WhatsApp Stickers and Custom Notification in WhatsApp
Stickers are a way to bring your personal style into other people’s chats. Creating your own custom WhatsApp sticker pack is like having your own unique digital signature.
Detailed setup instructions can be found in the previously mentioned article.
Both the standard app and MB allow you to set custom notifications for individuals and groups. MB offers additional features.
- Notification tone — system sound or any audio file you drop in
- Vibration pattern — short, long, default, or none
- Popup behavior — always / screen-on / screen-off / never
- LED color
- High priority — forces it to the top of the shade
- Call ringtone + vibration independently from messages
How to set it
- Open the chat > tap the name at the top > Custom notifications
- Toggle Use custom notifications on
- Remap tone/vibrate/popup / LED/priority
Putting It All Together
Many users try changing just one setting, dislike the result, and give up. To get the best look for MB WhatsApp, make sure layers 1 through 5 work together rather than just flipping a single switch.
Final Thoughts
Many users believe customization begins and ends with fonts. In reality, fonts are only a small part of the experience.
The best-looking MB WhatsApp setups are not the most colorful or the most complicated. They are the ones that reflect the user’s personality.
A good wallpaper can change the mood. Personalized stickers can make conversations more memorable. Changing fonts may make WhatsApp look different.
But true customization makes WhatsApp feel like your own app.
