Now we will discuss the issue of how “VKontakte” to make the background of the main page. Specially for these purposes themes are created. They are cascading style sheets, or CSS, in other words, program code, which is part of web programming, and also allows you to change the appearance of any page. Having examined the rules for working with such topics, we will be able to show how to change the VKontakte background.
Instruction manual
First, find a suitable topic. Next, in order to change the VKontakte background, as well as make your page unusual, copy the text of the table that relates to the design element you selected to the clipboard. A similar kind of code can be found either in the topic window or in a comment on it. Open the Notepad application, paste the copied text. After that we call the “File” menu, select the “Save As” function. Enter an arbitrary file name, changing the extension to ".css". Save. At the next stage, the Internet Explorer browser will help us to establish the VKontakte background. We launch the application. We open the menu "Service", select the function "Internet Options", there the tab "General" and finally the section "Appearance". We put a check mark in front of the item responsible for activating the user style. Click the "Browse" button, open the file that was previously saved. Click the “OK” button. We restart the browser and go to the social network. That's all. Now you know one of the ways that VKontakte can make the background more original, and at the same time give a touch of personality to other sites.
Other browsers
Install Stylish to change the appearance of the VK using Mozilla Firefox. We restart the browser. Copy the text using the previously saved file with the selected theme. We go to the menu of the Stylish tool, which is located on the browser panel, press the button to create a style for "VK". Fill in the Description field. In the lower free space, insert text from a material that contains a cascading table. Click "Save" and restart the browser. We go to the social network. Here is the second option, how to make a background on VKontakte.
If you have the Opera browser, launch it and go to the settings. We select the item “Advanced”, after that “Content”, then “Style options” and “Presentation modes”. We put a checkmark in front of "Your stylesheet." Copy the contents of the cascading table of the selected topic. To do this, open the notebook, paste the text there. We save the material on the computer under an arbitrary name with a change of extension to CSS. We go to the VK site, right-click on the background of the site, and then select the item relating to changing the site settings. Go to the "View" tab, click "Browse", select the file on the computer in which the table was previously saved, and click "OK". We are updating the VKontakte page. All is ready.
Direct work with the background
The following configuration methods can be considered more complicated. To begin with, it should be noted that the background attribute controls the background. In order to uniformly fill the entire page with the selected color, a special style tag is used: "body style =" with the corresponding number. For example, when you enter the parameter "000000" you will get a black background.
Graphics
Using the “body style” bundle, you can specify a repeating image. Indication of the address is in the form of an internal or external link. Remember that when using this method, it is important to ensure that the joints between the images are not noticeable, otherwise the page may look messy. Pattern repeat control available. The background-repeat parameter is responsible for the corresponding function. Positioning the picture in the necessary part of the page helps position. In this case, the coordinates are set using the percentage (for example, 50 or 75%), centimeters, pixel ratio and verbal form. The background-attachment property tells you how to scroll images: in conjunction with the page or not.
Main photo
So we figured out the question of how “VKontakte” to create a background, however, in order to add more personality to your page, you can, for example, set an unusual avatar length. It should be noted that the maximum
size of a photograph that can be used for these purposes is 200x500 pixels. If you try to upload a larger image, it will be fit proportionally into the specified frames. We will work with the avatar in Adobe Photoshop. Open the application. Set the desired width and height (200x500 px). We set the resolution more, and the indicator of the color mode does not matter for our task, you can leave 8 bits specified by default. The background is also important for the avatar. We’ll start with him. You can fill it with color using the Fill tool, which is located on the left side of the panel, or use the Gradient. As the main background you can use the picture. So that it does not distort when entering, hold down Ctrl and drag the corner, reducing or enlarging the image to the required size.
