You can make the background of your profile in a contact by changing the existing default theme to another one. It can be found at different services on the Internet, or do it yourself. Below we will look at exactly how this is done.

First, let's talk about safety. Despite the fact that browsers have at least learned to recognize malicious sites, there are often fraudulent resources that offer you “Fast and free” to change the theme on your page. If, in order to change the design, you are asked to: give a password for your page, send an SMS message, or install a program, immediately leave this resource, ninety-nine percent of them are scammers.

Let's move from theory to practice.

You can make a different background in two ways:

• With help online services and programs;
• Manually changing or creating a CSS file.

Let's take a closer look.

Using programs and themes found on the service

The program that allows you to change the background of your page is called get. You need to download it to your HDD, and install. You can check it for viruses first, but no antivirus program responded to it. The program is downloaded directly on the same website where you select themes for design.

After installing the program, you need to follow the link http://www.get-styles.ru/, select the theme you like, and click “Apply” under it.

The service has more than ten thousand varieties for every taste, so you are sure to find some theme to suit your taste. A window will appear in which you need to click “Add”. Then you update your contact page, and you see that it has become different - the background and design have changed.

ImageResizer and Get-Stayles are more versatile because with their help you can change appearance background of almost all sites. Their operating principle is that programs replace graphic files(images) that are on the site by default to those that you have chosen. But there is also a minus - these changes will only be noticeable on the computer on which the programs are installed.

A large number of users of the social network VKontakte are faced with a problem such as the lack of functionality for changing the theme of the site. This complexity is especially relevant for the reasons that the resource was initially designed in rather bright light colors, which impede the comfortable perception of information.

Over the entire existence of the site of the social network in question, quite a lot of ways have been developed to solve the problem associated with changing the design of the resource. Moreover, some of possible options we have already looked at it earlier, but without specific emphasis on the color scheme.

In addition to all that has been said, before moving on to consideration of current and effective methods, it is important to make a reservation that when changing the basic light design style to dark, you will somehow need to change the color scheme of the text. We also talked about this earlier, but we will still return to a similar problem.

Method 1: VK Helper

Administration of the social network VKontakte for Lately significantly changed the way the site works, eliminating some of the vulnerabilities that once existed and depriving additional software developers of the opportunity to create truly global applications. However, even taking into account this state of affairs, some add-ons still work more than properly, and the most promising of them is VK Helper.

Initially, VK Helper is designed to add functionality, not cosmetic transformation.

Please note that this application is essentially an extension for the Internet browser. Moreover, you can use it when operating any modern browser, and the recommended one is Google Chrome.

Compared to the vast majority of similar software, VK Helper requires authorization through a secure zone of the social network.

1. In your internet browser, open the download page.



2. Using one of the buttons provided, go to the add-on installation page.



3. Next, you will need to additionally switch to the app in the store.
4. Once on official page VK Helper, use the button "Install".



The required manipulations are largely determined by the type of web browser used.

5. After this, confirm the installation.



6. Due to the successful integration of the add-on, the extension will automatically redirect you to a page with the appropriate notification and selection of the most convenient language interface.



7. Now on the right top corner, or based on the location of the toolbar in your browser, click on the application icon.



8. Select an item "Add account".



9. On the authorization page, complete the procedure for logging into the VK website using your login and password from the page.

This concludes the introductory part regarding the process of correctly activating the add-on.

In order to take advantage of the opportunity to switch the VKontakte design style from standard to darkened, you will have to go to the extension management section. By the way, it is from this page that you can manage the state of this or that functionality.

1. By clicking on the previously mentioned icon in the upper right corner, open the main interface of the add-on and select "Settings".



2. At the top of the window that opens, find the search line and enter the phrase "Night Theme".



3. Among the search results, find the line of the same name and check the box next to it.



4. If for one reason or another it does not work for you this approach, you can do it a little differently.
5. Once on the add-on page, scroll down to the block "Interface".



6. Among the possibilities presented, find the line associated with the request "Night Theme".



7. Check the empty box next to the section.



8. The color scheme will change significantly when next transition to the site or after refreshing the page.

If you follow the instructions carefully, you should not have any difficulties turning on the dark design scheme.

Method 2: Stylish

By analogy with the previous method, Stylish is an add-on for all modern Internet browsers, but it stands out from other applications in that it does not have a clear specification. Generally speaking, the extension itself was created simultaneously for all existing resources on the Internet, designed using cascading style sheets (CSS).

Installation this application Shouldn't cause you problems since the download page adapts depending on the browser.

The instructions presented are the only correct installation method, which is why if problems arise, you just need to double-check the manipulations performed.

Each user who has enabled the integration of this add-on in their browser gets the opportunity to use a fairly extensive library of styles for different sites, from VKontakte to search engines. You can switch to the topics themselves, which in particular concerns VK, in two main ways.

Alternative, but much more convenient way, is to use the control panel.

Having dealt with the main nuances, you can proceed directly to activating a dark background for the VK social network.

Once you're on a page of a particular style, the first thing you should do is take advantage of the ability to edit the theme individually.

If you are not satisfied with anything in the created style, you can edit it.

To avoid any problems in the future, it is important to make a couple of additional notes.

Judging in general, this could be the end of this extension, since the instructions allow you to activate a dark background without unnecessary problems. However you can also create own version design from scratch or edit someone else's theme with some knowledge of working with CSS code.

In conclusion, it is important to note that the extension works most stably with the Google Chrome Internet browser. Now, having described in detail all the nuances of working with the Stylish application and its possible application in the area of ​​activating the dark background of VKontakte, the method can be considered complete.

Method 3: Dark Reader

Especially for users of the most popular web browser Google Chrome, the developers of the same program created the Dark Reader add-on, in automatic mode changing color scheme. Moreover, its capabilities apply equally to any user opened sites, including VKontakte.

A similar application has analogues in every browser, although the name may differ.

Like any fairly powerful extension, Dark Reader has its own set of various settings that allow you to change the appearance of resources. Moreover, regardless of the parameters set, the application will in any case have an impact on the design.

1. To open the main add-on control panel, click on the Dark Reader icon on the taskbar.



2. You can activate or deactivate the application by using the switch "Toggle Extension".



3. On the tab "Filter" main controls are located color scheme with the add-on activated.



4. When changing a value in the section "Mode" can choose between bright and dark style.



5. Indicator "Brightness", as the name suggests, affects the brightness of the site.



6. Block "Contrast" designed to change the degree of contrast of elements.



7. Field "Grayscale" is responsible for the level of black and white on pages.



8. If you edit the indicator "Sepia" You can achieve a fading effect.



9. On the second page with parameters "Font" there are tools responsible for text styles.



10. After the changes, do not forget to use the button "Apply" to save the markup.

Please note that the application performs well in terms of performance and overall should not cause any difficulties. Moreover, despite the lack of Russian localization, the interface is intuitive.

Method 4: Dark theme for VK

Each of the methods discussed above for setting a dark background involves using fairly demanding applications that provide many not very the necessary opportunities. To solve similar problem, there are much more narrowly focused add-ons on the Internet, one of which we will tell you about.

The application completely eliminates the possibility of customizing the background and color scheme.

This actually ends the whole operating principle of this add-on, which can be used without creating an unnecessary load on the Internet browser.

Method 5: Kate Mobile

If you are like great amount other users, if you prefer to access VKontakte from your mobile device, you can change the theme on it too. Please note that the official add-on itself does not provide the functionality we need, as a result of which you will need to download the trusted Kate Mobile application.

Now you can go directly to activating the dark background.

1. In the upper right corner of the screen, click the vertical ellipsis.



2. Switch to window "Settings".



3. Next, select a section "Appearance".



4. Click on the block "Theme".



5. Choose from dark styles, e.g. "Dark Holo" or "Black".



6. To apply the theme, restart the application Kate Mobile.



7. Upon restarting the add-on, the background will become dark.

As you can see, the application does not require particularly complex manipulations. At the same time, you should take into account that due to significant changes in VK policy, many additions for mobile devices, including Kate Mobile, today do not have all the functions of standard VKontakte.

In conclusion, it is only worth noting that first of all, when choosing any method of activating the dark background of VK, you need to look at the ease of use of the site. Thus, if a method causes performance issues or provides limited functionality, it's best to turn to alternatives.
