VKontakte today is the most popular social network in the CIS, so it is not at all surprising that almost every user living in the countries of the former USSR is a member. At the same time, the standard functions of this system do not include a convenient change of the standard design to some more interesting options (only a few simple ones), but at the same time many are looking for how to change the background in VK to some of their own pictures.

What does this give?

Many people are tired of the standard background in VK, so they want to change it to something more pleasant, especially since with the help of special utilities this can be done without any difficulty. The background itself gives practically nothing - this is not a change to a full-fledged theme, which allows you to change labels, fonts, certain descriptions of functions and many other elements, it is only replacing the standard white image with some other one that may be more pleasant to you .

You only get visual satisfaction from the background, and you can put it in absolutely any way.

How to make it?

Depending on your browser, the instructions on how to change the background in VK may vary slightly, and in this case we will look at it using Google Chrome as an example:

After this, you will have the opportunity to use any picture, setting it as a background for VK. Now all that remains is to change the background in VK through this extension - to do this, you need to find the picture you are interested in on the Internet, right-click on it and select the “Set as VKontakte wallpaper” function.

In this article you will learn how you can make a background of a different color for your contact page or put a specific picture.

You can make the background of your profile in a contact by changing the existing default theme to another one. You can find it on various services on the Internet, or you can 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 the 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 hard drive, 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.

But there is also a minus - these changes will only be noticeable on the computer on which the programs are installed.
