The free or animated desktop feature was introduced to MIUI ROM quite a while ago. It was a fantastic idea to have another free mode desktop over the regular homescreen of a phone. Later MIUI released two beautiful free desktop themes, namely Angry Birds Space and Warm Space, as examples of how this format worked. Unfortunately, the intricacies of the coding did not let the MIUI theme developers dare attempt to make themes with animation. Since now, there were only three to four free desktop themes.
Here is another free desktop theme for MIUI which, I must say, looks best of all themes available so far. My World is a nature-inspired theme that contains app and notification shortcuts in a unique way. It looks pretty amazing with the blue sky, floating clouds, windmill, a board with weather info and so on. In one of the screenshots, you can see a post pillar-box beside a telephone booth that show you unread message and missed calls notifications.
Download the theme and copy to MIUI>Theme folder on your phone’s SD Card. Apply the theme from the Themes app, come back to the homescreen and swipe two fingers from top to down side to activate the free desktop mode. Swipe two fingers from down to up to return back to normal homescreen.

Thank you Rakesh
As I know the latest MIUI does not support these kind of themes. It requests the ones which downloaded from their site only. How can we pass it and install these?
Thanks,
Install the appropriate ROM from here to be able to use themes from outsite MIUI theme market:

That’s an interesting theme. It works on my phone running MiHome Launcher. Another theme that includes a free desktop showed up on MIUI website the other day:
