The standard appearance of the interface of many web browsers is often boring. Yandex.Browser developers decided to fight this by adding design themes available to every user. In this article, we will tell you how to change the background in Yandex Browser, add images from the computer gallery using auxiliary extensions that can change the appearance of the VKontakte social network.

Standard settings

By default, Yandex Browser has tools for personalizing the appearance of the interface. You can use them as follows:

• run the program and open a new tab;
• under the quick access tabs, click on the "Customize screen" option;
• a list of live images that are available for registration will appear;
• before choosing the background you like, you can check it in test mode by pressing "Play".

It is not necessary to be content with the options offered by the developers, because everyone can add their own images.

• Go to screen settings again.
• At the end of the list of suggested backgrounds, there will be a block with "+".
• Click on it and select a picture through the browser.

Note! The selected image must be of high quality, otherwise there is a chance to get a background filled with pixels.

Themes in Yandex Browser

Video instead of background

To do this, you will need to spend a little time creating a new video yourself or borrowing it from open source. You will need to do the following:

• using a video editor, create a short video with medium resolution and short duration, so that it does not load the CPU and RAM;
• place the finished work on your desktop or folder so that it is easy to get to it;
• go to the directory of your web browser along the path "Drive C:" - "Users" - "AppData" - "Local" - "Yandex" - "YandexBrowser" - "UserData" - "Wallpappers";
• there are folders with default themes, open any of them;
• rename the prepared video to video;
• drag the short clip to the theme folder and confirm to replace the files. As a precaution, keep the folder as it was;
• all that remains is to launch the browser and select the theme where you replaced the video sequence.

You can perform this operation as many times as the default themes offered by Yandex Browser.

Themes for VKontakte

The social network VKontakte still enjoys unprecedented popularity among residents of the CIS countries. However, many users are unhappy with the appearance of the interface, which, although recently received an update, still could not meet the requirements of each and every one.

Find a way out of the situation allows third-party software, or to be more precise - plugins and extensions. It is better not to use downloaded software, as it is often created by intruders who thus receive a login and password from your account. Let's consider the most popular solutions.

Wallpapers on sites

A universal tool for changing the background not only on a social network, but also on other popular resources. In total, about 10 sites are supported, which allows you to experiment and create an author's style.

You can find the application in the Opera browser extension store, but do not be surprised, the plug-in is compatible with the web browser from Yandex. Follow the link https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/oboi-na-saity/ and install the add-on to your browser by clicking on the appropriate button.

The extension shortcut will appear in the upper right corner. After clicking on it, information will appear regarding the settings of the installed image, including brightness and transparency. There is also a small button with a display of all supported sites. Visit the page, click "Set wallpaper" and select the appropriate image.

This extension is intended exclusively for use on the VKontakte social network. With it, you can set any background you are interested in. There is support for outlining the site so that it does not merge with the browser page.

Among the important functions, we should mention the presence of support for the gif format, which allows you to transform the interface, not only replacing images, but also adding moving elements. All of this is done in conjunction with support for the new design, so no compatibility issues are expected. The extension is located at the link https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/fon-vkontakte-2/. The add-on is absolutely free.

The inscription "Set as VKontakte background" will appear - click on it.

For the plugin to work for sure, open the picture in a separate window.

Working with themes from Google Chrome

Yandex Browser is built on the same engine as the browser from Google. Therefore, at the beginning of development, the project from Yandex was compatible with some of the resolutions of its competitor.

Now this is much less common, but some of the add-ons in the Chrome store still have compatibility and are able to work stably on a similar system. If the extension is not supported, a corresponding message "An error has occurred" will appear, or you can see a notification about the incompatibility of the program and the plug-in right on the page.

Decoration tools

If you want to change the appearance of Yandex Browser or other sites, just visit the built-in extension store. It is enough to go to "Menu" - "Add-ons" - "Extensions catalog". In the window that appears, open the "More" menu and select a design.

Here are the most popular plugins for changing the theme of the browser, VKontakte or YouTube.

Conclusion

It has become easier than ever to change the interface of a browser or an individual site, it is enough to follow the advice given above.

Now you have installed a new browser: clean, not spammed with various links and ads. Those who have already tried to work on it appreciated its capabilities and interesting design. But many are missing the smallest detail: the Yandex browser reflected the desires and aspirations of users, and just pleased with its design.

It is very easy to change the Yandex browser skin by putting your favorite picture on the splash screen. The principle of operation is similar to the theme changing algorithm in Google Chrom. this is not surprising since both browsers run on the same engine. That is why any themes for Chrome are perfect for setting up Yandex. Browser.

Changing the theme through the Google store The easiest way to find the theme you want is in the Google store. To do this, we drive into the search engine "Themes in the Google store" and on the very first page we find the necessary link.

To choose what you need, you should follow these rules:

How to install a theme

If you have made your choice, you can proceed with the installation right away. To do this, click on the picture itself and select the "Set as background in Yandex Browser" option.

Your new theme is already ready.

Can I set my own picture on the theme?

Yes, you can. To do this, you just need to follow a simple algorithm:

First, you should choose the picture you like in your own gallery or pick it up on the Internet. After that, we click directly on the topic that we want to change. The offer "Change background" pops up.

Click on this phrase. Themes appear, suggested by the browser itself, plus an additional window marked with a cross.

Click on this free window - the "Images" menu of our computer opens.

Select the picture we need and change the background. Take the image labeled E75.

And the image of the tank becomes the theme of our browser.

How do I delete all images?

Removal of all installed themes is carried out through the "Settings" item of the browser. We go to the main page of Yandex. browser and find the "Settings" option there. It is located next to the search bar: three horizontal lines.

In old Yandex. browsers reset the theme was solved by pressing one button. Now things are a little more complicated. In the settings we are looking for the "Additional settings" menu. This option is at the very bottom of the page.

Scrolling through the menu of additional settings, we find the option "Reset settings". Click on it.

A warning window will appear.

Click "Reset" and a blank screen appears.

If you have Yandex browser installed, then, probably, sometimes you want to change its appearance. There are no such functions in it, but you can think a little and use a third-party service. And so, in today's article, let's figure out how to change the theme in the Yandex browser.

This web browser is updated quite often, and it is possible that some points will be slightly different in new versions, but the essence will remain the same. For example, a new interface was released relatively recently, which does not allow us to install third-party themes. However, this interface can still be disabled, which is what we will do now.

Launch the browser and click on the menu button in the upper right corner. From the drop-down list, select the "Settings" item:

Find the line "Appearance settings" and click on the button "Turn off the new interface":

That's it, now we can change its appearance. In order to download a theme, we will use the Google store for Chrome. You can follow the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/themes to get directly to the desired section (you need to go to this store and download from there, of course, only from the Yandex browser).

Find the picture you like and click on it. A window opens with its description, reviews about it and other information. Click on the "Install" button:

Greetings, dear readers! The modern person feels at home on the Internet, and undoubtedly spends most of the time in the browser. If you really think of it as our virtual home, then it might be worth making it a little cozier.

Today I will talk about how to put a theme in the Yandex browser, because this is the main way to quickly change the appearance of a page.

A theme is a page style created by professional web designers.

Where to choose options

It may seem strange, but themes for Yandex can be taken from the Chrome web store. Since they work on the same engine and are similar in settings, most skins will do just fine.

You can make a choice here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps, and there is plenty to choose from. There are also official Google themes and "From Artists" options for every taste and color.

To choose something for yourself, you need to act like this:

1. In the menu on the left, select the "Themes" item and look at the proposed options.
2. Have you chosen? Click on the theme's thumbnail or the "Free" button.
3. In the upper right corner of the window that opens, click "Install". The check of the selected design starts, which takes some time. As soon as it is installed, the system will notify you about this with a message at the top of the page.

There are other sources of topics on the Internet, but they should be approached with caution - there is a very wide range of viruses that can be picked up with such files. So start by looking at the "officially approved" options at the link above. Moreover, most of the presented styles are free.

However, you shouldn't expect your chosen theme to greatly change the look of your browser. When you install it, only the top of the page changes where the open tabs are located.

If you want to make more serious changes, you can use the "Change background" button in the lower left corner of the start page. Here you can choose one of the suggested ones or add your own photo (use the field with the "+" symbol in the row of background photos ").

With respect, Roman

In the browser from Yandex there is a possibility associated with changing the interface. The user can set a static or live background from the proposed gallery, which favorably distinguishes this web browser from the rest. We will now tell you how to do this.

Not all novice users know how to set a background for Yandex Browser. Meanwhile, this is an extremely easy process that does not require time-consuming and complex manipulations. The program has its own catalog of beautiful screensavers that allow you to diversify the tab "Scoreboard"(this is how a new tab is called in Yandex Browser). Each user can choose a usual picture and animation to his taste.

We would like to make a few clarifications regarding animated images:

• Animation playback consumes a little more computer or laptop resources, so on older and weak devices, freezes may occur when opening "Scoreboard".
• After a few minutes of inactivity, the browser pauses the animation automatically to save resources. This happens, for example, when open "Scoreboard" and you are not doing anything on the PC, or the browser window is maximized, but inactive, and you are using another program. Replay starts when you move the mouse or switch from another application to the web browser.
• You can independently control the playback and stop of the animation through the settings "Scoreboard"... This is primarily true for laptop owners who periodically operate on battery power.

Method 1: setting ready-made backgrounds

For a long time Yandex did not update its own gallery in any way, but now the web browser has almost completely got rid of the old pictures and has acquired a large number of new ones. Almost every user will be able to choose a beautiful wallpaper that will decorate a new tab. Let's see how to install classic and animated pictures.

1. Open a new tab and find the button "Gallery of backgrounds".



2. First, new or popular categories are displayed, just below the categories are located in the form of tags. All of them contain standard thematic images.



There is a separate section for animated wallpapers "Video".



3. Go to the section with images, choose the one you like. If you like everything (or almost everything), immediately click on the button "Alternate these backgrounds"... After that, each day a different wallpaper will be displayed in a new tab. When the list ends, it will start repeating from the first picture. You can scroll through the picture you don't like. We will talk about this below.



If you entered the section with "Video", there are no cardinally other differences from the above. The only thing is that you can hover your mouse cursor over the tile with a freeze frame to quickly view the full version of the animation.

4. After selecting the appropriate file, left-click on it and click on "Apply background".



5. In order not to miss any updates, the latest splash screens are displayed below, during "All backgrounds"... The animated ones have a video camera icon so you can quickly distinguish them.

Background options

As such, there are no settings for the backgrounds to be installed, but there are a couple of options that you might find useful.

Open up "Scoreboard" and click on the button with three vertical dots next to "Gallery of backgrounds" to display a drop-down menu with settings.

Method 2: Setting your own image

In addition to the standard gallery of backgrounds, installation of personal images is also available, and this can be done in two ways at once.

Files stored on your PC's hard drive can be set as the browser background. To do this, the picture must be in JPG or PNG format, preferably with a high resolution (not lower than the resolution of your display, otherwise it will look ugly when stretched) and good quality.

Through the context menu

A very convenient function of setting the background directly from the site is supported by Yandex Browser. You don't even need to download the picture to your PC in order to then install it using the method described above. Therefore, if you find some beautiful image, install it on the background in a couple of clicks.

In our other article, we described in detail all the recommendations and advice regarding this process. Click on the link below and read information from "Method 2".

Now you know how you can quickly and easily change the background in Yandex Browser. Finally, we note that installing a theme in the usual sense of the word is impossible - the program only supports the installation of built-in or personal images.
