Sooner or later, the familiar design of the VK site is boring and annoying. This greatly affects the perception of user information, which makes it more difficult to read and write. Unfortunately, the VKontakte administration has not yet developed such an opportunity as setting a preferred design theme.
Despite the lack of official ability to install a new design for VKontakte, it is still possible to do this, moreover, in several ways. To do this, importantly, you do not need to provide any personal information.
You can change the standard design of VKontakte without any troubles, if you adhere to a certain chain of actions and use, at the same time, only trusted methods. Note that when referring to a change in design, it means a change in design, that is, colors and partially the location of the elements.
To change the subject, you can choose to use:
- special browser;
- extensions for browsers.
To date, of all the possible ways to personalize the page, only a few really work. It is these options that are worth using, since in this case you are guaranteed to receive:
- data security;
- performance when working with a designed page;
- the ability to choose a design from a huge catalog or create your own themes;
- free use.
In some cases, there is a VIP system. In this situation, the installation of certain topics will require financial expenses from you.
In most cases, VKontakte themes are completely free. You just need to choose the way that you will set these styles.
Method 1: use the Orbitum browser
In general terms, this Internet browser does not have any performance issues. At the same time, it provides each user with a completely free catalog of various themes for some social networks, including VKontakte.
To put a topic on VK in this way, you need to follow a simple instruction.
You can also create your own theme for free.
After installing the theme, each time you log in to your VKontakte social network through this web browser, you will see the selected design instead of the standard one.
If for some reason you want to return to the standard design of VKontakte in this Internet browser, you also need to do this according to a specific instruction.
Method 2: VKMOD VK theme designer
This method of changing VKontakte design no longer requires downloading a separate browser, since VKMOD is an extension. This add-on is installed exclusively in the Google Chrome Internet browser.
When working with this extension, in most cases, there are no problems. However, the main drawback of VKMOD always remains relevant and is that it supports only one single web browser, although the most popular one.
It is worth noting that this extension was originally developed for the early design of VKontakte. Therefore, topics may not display correctly.
In the future, this extension will probably be stabilized and adapted to a new design.
Method 3: Get-Style
The Get-Style extension refers to the number of add-ons that always keep up with the times. This is due to the fact that the design of VKontakte is currently changing dynamically - various new elements appear or existing ones move to another place, but quality styles are still published on Get-Style.
As for this extension, it supports both the old VK design and a completely new one. At the same time, there are no significant bugs when using the Get-Style add-on.
Due to the radical changes in VKontakte, it is recommended to use the latest themes. Thanks to this, your page will look fresh and attractive.
This extension is the best on the entire Internet, as it provides users with:
- integration expansion into Chrome, Opera, Yandex and;
- large catalog of topics;
- own constructor;
- free theme installation.
Install and use this add-on is possible, following the detailed instructions.
After all the steps done, you can proceed to install the extension.
Be sure to refresh the page before installing the theme.
The last thing left to do is to change the standard VKontakte theme. This is done extremely simply.
In most cases, the update is automatic.
This extension, without modesty, is the best among all the additions that affect the design style of the social network VKontakte. At the same time, you are required to do a minimum of action.
Sometimes the administration of the resource holds rating draws. Thus, you can get even more features for free.
When choosing a method for changing the design of VKontakte, it is recommended to consider the pros and cons. That is, in some cases, for example, if you use the system only to visit several social networks, it is best to choose Orbitum. But subject to the use of Yandex, Opera, Firefox or Chrome, not only for social networks - it is best to establish the most stable extension.
What ultimately to choose - only you decide. We wish you good luck when choosing a topic for VK.
The VKontakte site is extremely popular among users. This network was created using the latest advances in site building. She is constantly evolving and improving. However, there are functions that the administration of the resource did not provide for or considers unnecessary. The VKontakte team has published a list of operations that will never be on their social network. These include, for example, animation and color fonts. There are also colorful themes in this list.
Many users would like to change the design of their page depending on their mood and other reasons. But how to set topics in "Contact", if such a function is not on the site? Let's look into this problem! We will need the most ordinary browser, as well as extensions for it.
What modern browsers can do
It turns out that your Internet browser can do almost anything! Interestingly, your browser has two kinds of functions:
- Operations that are activated using extensions. Here you can set various forms of protection, generate passwords for websites, supplement the functionality of your favorite social networks and much more.
- Operations available without extensions. You can save interesting pages as PDFs, invent your own to turn your browser into a player, etc. All this without extensions!
By the way, there are several types of add-ons for browsers:
- Applications - programs that need to be opened in a separate window.
- Extensions - additional operations available from any tab of your browser.
- Themes that can beautify your browser.
Due to the fact that Internet browsers are equipped with many different functions, we can change the design of VKontakte. Consider how to set topics in the "Contact".
How to choose a safe service for changing the design of VK

On a good site with themes, there are instructions for installing and uninstalling them, as well as a template code and image for viewing. On such resources, you will definitely find the answer to the question of how to install topics in "Contact".

Hello dear readers of the blog site! We have already examined in detail, as far as possible, the registration process in and got acquainted with the basic settings of your personal page. At first, I wanted to push the story about this social network into one article, but, given the rich functionality of VK, I decided to break the material into several parts.
In one of the posts it was already discussed how to create and download, and in another - about the wide possibilities of this social network in terms of listening to music, watching videos, drawing graffiti (), programs, games, applications in Contact and other features. In today's publication, we will talk about where and how to download and install VK themes.
Functionality of VK and the danger of Get Styles.ru service
Of course, for us, webmasters, in the first place, the important features of social networks that are directly able to promote the site (in particular, SMO and SMM methods) are important. For example, the more pressing question is how to create and promote a VKontakte group. However, the opportunities that we will talk about today, also under certain circumstances, can be useful in the matter of self-promotion of the site, which I will certainly tell in more detail in the following articles.
First, let's see what can be done to change the personal page of VKontakte in terms of design. Indeed, a beautiful design, pleasing to the eye, sometimes has a positive role in improving the performance of any work on the Internet, although we rarely notice it. I already wrote about how to install and change, it's time to tell the same thing about the VKontakte social network.
Ready-made themes for the VK can be selected and even created by yourself using various services. At first, I would like, dear readers, to introduce you a whole selection of sites and programs through which you can set topics for Contact. However, then he changed his mind, because I do not have full confidence in the safety of many of these resources.
The first impulse was to stop at get Styles.ru service, which is the most famous and most credible. In addition, the Get Styles program, which is a product of this resource, allows you to install a ready-made theme for VK with one click of the mouse. But, after downloading the archive containing the installation file, and after checking it my indispensable dr.Web turned out to be a file infected.
In a more detailed study, it turned out that the download link leads to a third-party twin site with the address Get Styles.info, apparently the owners of Get Styles.ru really have nothing to do with it and their resource is being used by impudent attackers, and maybe not. I wrote them technical support, no answer, no greetings. These are the pies. So be careful about this resource.
Alas and ah, I can’t provide you with a direct link to a project that carries such a danger. Of course, I'm not going to blame the administration of the site and, most likely, it is not guilty of anything. It’s just the fruit of unscrupulous abuse of strangers who use knowledge for their dirty deeds. But I must warn my readers. Perhaps, at the time of reading this article, this service will already be white and fluffy, it won’t hurt to check.
Installing VK theme for Chrome using Stylish plugin
So you have to disassemble another method, which, in my opinion, is safer. Moreover, the methods for downloading themes for different browsers will be slightly different. The installation of VK themes in Google Chrome and Firefox is similar, since in both cases the main role is played by the Stylish plugin. For Google Chrome (- how to download, install, update Google Chrome) you can download this extension from here. This page is official, so you can be calm about all evil spirits in the form of virus programs.
Download and installation of Stylish is standard, just like other extensions for Google Chrome are installed (on the download web page, click the "Free" button). Installation after this happens instantly. Let's start the description of installing any of the Contact themes from the Chrome browser.
The installation is marked by the appearance in the upper right window of the browser of an icon in the form of the letter “S” on a colored background, symbolizing that the extension is ready to work. You will need to right-click on this image and select “Settings” from the menu. A window will open in a new tab where you need to do certain actions:
In fact, the Stylish extension was originally designed to create design on the pages of the social network Facebook (- registration and login to the Facebook social network account), so here is a link to an English-language resource where you can choose a design by clicking on the link with its name with the mouse. Then, in the newly opened window next to the picture representing the selected design, click the “Install with Stylish” button. And that’s all, the selected style will be automatically applied to any page.
But this is for Facebook web pages (about My page, its settings, including the installation of photos and covers for the profile). It turns out the automatic operation of the downloaded add-on can be adapted for VK. To do this, just go to this page of the same resource, which presents design styles specifically for Contact.
Choose your favorite and click on the link with the name of the topic. The following web page contains a detailed description in Russian. Next, click on the “Install with Stylish” button I already mentioned, then go to the settings page and see this picture:
As you can see, the theme was automatically downloaded specifically for VKontakte. We open any page of this social network and observe design changes. Everything seemed to be normal and everything should satisfy the readers. But my attacks of perfectionism, whether they are amiss, do not allow this to stop and force me to move on.
Therefore, we will consider another way of installing the VK through the same Style, but having already created our own version, by clicking on the "Create Style" button. A text box will appear in the right half of the extension window, where you will need to insert your own code with CSS styles. I suspect that many of the readers cannot boast such perfect knowledge of cascading tables to create their own design style, so we will do it easier.
After a failure with Get Style.ru, I was looking for a resource for a long time that could offer a variety of VKontakte themes with ready-made CSS stylesheets and at the same time be safe for users. In the end, my choice settled on Kontaktlife.ru. In terms of choice, it’s not God’s all that, of course, but if you wish, you can find enough of these resources on the network, the main thing is that you carefully follow the security rules and be sure to check unknown websites with an antivirus program.
So, we go to the website (link above) and click on the desired picture that represents the selected topic for VK, or on the name of the section, and already there we look at the options corresponding to this category. After clicking on the image, a new window will open with the enlarged image and the desired CSS code under it. Copy the code, go to the window with the Stylish program open and paste the resulting fragment into the text box (remember that we clicked the Create Style button):
Be sure to check the box “Enabled” and enter the name. Now click on the “Specify” button to add the address of the page on which this theme for VK will be applied. If you select “URL starting with” from the drop-down list and enter “http://vk.com/” in the line, this will mean that this design will adorn any VK website’s website.
Then click "Save" on the left side of the Stylish window and, wow a la, the operation is completed. Next, go to any page of the VKontakte social network and enjoy the updated design. The number “1” will be displayed on the Style icon, according to the serial number. In the future, you can manage the downloaded styles: disable or completely delete them by going all the same to the “Settings” section, right-clicking on the icon.
How to set VKontakte themes for Mazila through Style
Now, let's look at how to download themes for VKontakte if you use Mozilla Firefox as a browser (how to download the latest version of Mazil Faefox for free) using the same Stylish. For Mazila, you can download the add-on from here. Stylish is installed, again, like other plugins for Mozilla Firefox (click on the gray "Download for Windows" button).
After the installation is completed, as in the case of Chrome, an icon symbolizing the active plug-in will appear in the upper right corner of the browser, although in appearance and function it differs from the Google one. Now open the page of the VK site (http://vk.com), click on the Stylish icon and select "Find for the current site" from the menu:
On a new tab, the web page of the already mentioned Userstyles.org website with themes for Contact will open. Then we proceed the same way as in the first case with the Google version: we select the design, click on the link with its name located on the right, and on the new web page click on the big green button “Install with Stylish”. A dialog box appears with user information containing data about those web pages of the site to which the installed style will be applied:
There is also a preview button here, although for some reason it didn’t work for me. To download a theme for Contact, click on the “Install” caption. The result is known, CSS code will be instantly downloaded and applied to the open VKontakte web page. Then it can be controlled from the Stylish icon menu, for example, turn it off or on by unchecking or ticking the line with the name of the design style:
If we use the line “Manage styles”, then we get to the more global Style settings, where you can not only disable, but delete the theme completely, as well as create a new one. In addition, to control the plugin there is an opportunity to get through the top Mozilla menu, following the path "Tools" - "Add-ons" - "Extensions", where you will be given the opportunity to disable or remove Stylish itself.
VK Design Styles for IE and Opera
For the Opera browser (and the necessary information about Opera), a version of the Stylish plugin has recently appeared. Unfortunately, for Internet Explorer (- how to download, install, update and remove the Internet Explorer), at the moment there is no reliable extension that would somewhat automate the installation process in general, and for the VKontakte site in particular. However, here you can safely update the design, and for this you do not need to be the guru of cascading style sheets (CSS).
Let’s try to learn how to adapt VK theme styles for the Internet Explorer browser. First things first, you just need to copy the code from any site that provides it in the clear. Well, for example, from the Kontaktlife.ru project, the link to which I gave a little higher. Then save it in a simple notepad and write the extension .css:
If you have one of the latest versions of IE, you should click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the web browser window, and then go the next way, opening the dialog boxes: “Internet Options” - “Appearance” and in the “Custom Style” section pages ”check the option“ Design using a custom style ”, then put the path to the created file on your computer:
After all these gestures, click “OK” in both open windows, as a result of which the design will be applied to the open web page. In view of the Explorer’s limited capabilities in terms of the style management functionality, it is possible to use only one CSS file, and, therefore, the loaded design will be present on all web pages open in the browser, including Contact.
Well, finally, let's see how you can install the VK theme for Opera without Stylish, although you can now use this extension. Just like for Explorer, you first need to create a styles file with the extension .css and save it to your computer. A description of this operation is given just above, so I won’t repeat it. Then, if you own one of the latest versions of this browser, select "Tools" - "General Settings" from the top menu.
In the “Advanced” tab in the left list you need to find “Content”. Going to this section, click on the "Customize styles" button. A smaller window will open where you need to open the "Display Modes" tab. You need to make sure that the checkbox next to the option “My style sheet” is enabled:
Then close this window by clicking OK. Next, click the "Settings for Sites" button and get into the "Server Management" section, where we click on the "Add" button. Another dialog will open, where we go to the "Basic" section. Here, opposite the “Site” option, enter the domain name: vk.com. Then we move to the “View” tab of the same section and, by clicking on the “Browse” button, select the path to the pre-prepared CSS file for the Contact topic:
After all these operations, we successively close all open windows by clicking “OK” everywhere. We go to the website page and enjoy the effect that creates a new VKontakte theme. In conclusion, I will offer another video on the Opera for fixing, if someone does not understand something. The video was professionally made, the explanation is clear, concise and concise (just note that the domain name should be vk.com, not vkontakte.com):
It is VK that is especially popular with young people who spend most of their free time there. Creating a new account, users are looking for how to change the theme in VK to a new one.
The process of installing and replacing the theme takes only a few minutes, you just need to install the plug-in correctly in the browser and download the desired theme.
