Try this VK background: what does it mean and how to disable it


In VKontakte groups you can create various discussions where everyone can share their opinion. Sometimes an administrator or community moderator needs to remove them. Today we will talk about how to delete a VKontakte topic. If you are interested in the intricacies of setting up Instagram, you will find detailed information on the website.

So, you can delete both entire discussions and any individual post in them.

To remove unnecessary discussions, proceed as follows:

Open a topic that is subject to deletion.

Click the “Edit Theme” button.

In the window that appears at the bottom there will be a link “Delete topic”; if you click it, the discussion will be deleted.

As you understand, to delete unnecessary discussions on VKontakte you should take just a few simple steps.

If you sent a post through the post suggestion functionality, you can delete it on the corresponding tab on the main page of the group. This option will be available until the post is published on the wall or the post is queued for publication, after which only the group administrator can get rid of it.

If you publish a post on an open group wall, you can delete your post in the same way as you published it.

Wanting to diversify the design of their VKontakte page, many find services on the Internet with an abundance of design themes and install the theme to their taste and color. You won’t find any kind of page styles among users: anime, sports, all kinds of butterfly-flowers, Japanese, and 80s style.

But here’s the problem: over time, any topic, even one that all the friends who came to visit were delighted with, begins to cause boredom and even irritation. Slowly you begin to yearn for the strict and stylish standard design of VKontakte.

What does “Try this background” mean?

The pop-up notification “Try this background” is one of the new products of the VKontakte social network, which is the ability to set a background or poster for publication. The main goal of the new product is to increase the attractiveness of entries and posts on a personal page or group. Thanks to this, you can improve and diversify the appearance of the posted information.

Try the new VK background
Trying a new VKontakte background

Currently the following 3 poster categories are available:

  1. Pictures – 16 colorful and bright blank illustrations. When you select each picture, the font color automatically changes - this is done so that it “doesn’t hurt your eyes.” In general, complete harmony;
  2. Emotions – 12 emoji expressing different emotions – ? , ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ☺️, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
  3. Gradients – 10 beautiful gradients. When you select a gradient, the text color changes automatically.

Thus, we get 38 beautiful pictures and screensavers to improve the attractiveness of your posts and entries.

Currently, this functionality is fully supported both in the desktop version and in mobile applications for Android and iOS

In practice, “Try this background” has proven itself very well, making it much easier for many administrators to maintain their groups. Now designing posts has become much easier with the help of these creatives.

"Your own master"

Well, the first thing we will try to do is remove the installed theme in the Google Chrome browser. You can do this in just a couple of clicks. Yes, and in several ways.

For example, you can simply erase the saved code. More precisely, delete the text file with the css extension. Then the theme will disappear automatically, the settings will be reset, and the page will return to its original appearance. An interesting move, although not entirely correct. All this is because sometimes due to such actions various failures can occur. However, now you know how to remove a topic in Contact with your own hands. But do not forget that each browser has its own download, installation, and “cleaning” option. Now we will try to figure out a more suitable method.

How to add a VK background

As you can see in the above screenshot, this functionality is really necessary for both ordinary users and editors and administrators of groups and official brand pages.

If you see any background in your news feed (or in any group), you can move your mouse over it until the words “Try this background” appear. Clicking on it will take you to the post creation and editing page.

'Appearing inscription
“Try this background” message appears

The backgrounds themselves (categories) are selected either by clicking on the inscription “Gradients / Pictures / Emotions” at the top of the picture, or by scrolling the navigation arrows left and right.

Here you can immediately set such post parameters as post privacy settings, post publication time, as well as enable/disable commenting on this post and the ability to send notifications.

In addition, you can add a new background on your personal page (or group page if you are its moderator/administrator) by clicking on the special colored “Poster” button.

You must click on this icon to select a background

Separately, it is necessary to note a very important non-obvious point - the maximum number of characters on the background is 160.

If you write more than 160 characters, in this case the poster mode will change to normal mode, that is, without background / gradient / emotions. The poster itself can be edited at any time

"Mozilla"

Now we will think about how to delete a topic in “Contact” from “Mozilla”. This will be much more difficult to do, because you had to use a special add-on to install the design.

Well, let's get rid of originality and return to the “standard”. Go to the Stylish program, and then delete the code or uncheck the box next to the theme you used. True, you must be on the Contact page itself.

Save your changes and close the program. Refresh the page and look at the result. Everything should work out. As a last resort, you can always remove the installed theme from the list - it will be removed automatically. Now you know how designs for a social network are installed and removed.

If you're looking to add some style and personality to your social media account, you won't have to try a bunch of options to figure out which one is best. We did it for you. This article provides proven methods that allow you to safely and freely change the design of your VKontakte page.

To change the background for VKontakte, you must first download themes for VKontakte. Or rather, an extension with a catalog of these themes, which is integrated into the browser and allows you to apply the option you like. Note that many of these plugins are equipped with a designer - a small program that allows you to customize the appearance of the page. We are talking about choosing the background color and font color, setting transparency and the appearance of frames for blocks.

In short, this is the topic

So, where is this mysterious place - “here”? Where can I find these same extensions? Some of them are available in official online browser extension stores. For example, you can find the get-styles.ru plugin in the store. However, this does not mean that you will find it in the stores of other web browsers. Therefore, as a rule, developers create a separate website.

In general, there are a lot of similar resources - at least we have tested a couple of dozen. But the applications they provide are either detected by antiviruses as containing malicious code (this was the case with vkstyles.ru and get-styles.ru), or contain advertising and offer to install other products (for example, vk.orbitum.ru).

Therefore, we will consider only a couple of services that have managed to gain trust and popularity (and which provide the opportunity to download extensions for VKontakte for free). These are vktema.com and vkmod.net.

Option one, a little nervous

When installing the plugin from vktema.com, we received an offer to install an additional panel in the browser and add it to startup, which is not always interesting.

After restarting the web browser, the “Theme Manager” section appeared in our account menu. However, its catalog was clearly different from what is presented on the site. No bright anime, no hot girls in bikinis, no cool sports cars. Instead of hundreds of wallpaper options, there are only 18 themes with balls, Simon's cat and a wheat field. In addition, when we have already decided how to change the VKontakte theme and selected the appropriate option, the account menu overlaps the theme manager menu. To see your page, you need to click on the block frame with the inscription “VKontakte”. In short, we had to figure out what was what.

Option two, optimal

I was much more pleased with the extension from vkmod.net. It is much simpler and truly free of unnecessary hassles. After installing the file and restarting the browser, in the “Settings” of the page we saw the “My Themes” category.

In principle, there were themes for VK for every taste - there were romantic pictures with spring flowers, harsh wallpapers in the spirit of the fantastic game “Dead Space”, and “relaxing” options with views of exotic islands in the middle of the ocean.

We were also pleasantly surprised by themes with a parallax effect - few analogues can offer this. And the ability to customize the background and font color is a clear plus.

One day, having decided to diversify your VKontakte page, you installed a program to create an account. They actively changed topics, using pictures that were pleasing to the eye. But the moment came when I got tired of everything and wanted to return the standard, meaningless look of my page.

You will need

  • - computer,
  • - Internet connection,
  • — VKontakte registration,
  • — changed theme on your page.

Instructions

  • Your page is set to one of two simple themes from “My Settings” called “Pre-Revolutionary” or “In the Union”. These themes have a standard page design and only change the names of the tabs in the menu. To return to standard settings, you need to open the “My Settings” menu item. In the “General” tab, find “Regional Settings”. Here you need to change the language from “Pre-revolutionary” or “Soviet” to “Russian” or your native language, and then click on the “Change” button.
  • To design the VKontakte theme, you used the Get Styles add-on to the Internet browser. In this case, the program control panel is located under the browser address bar. To change the settings, you need to click on the “Themes” item in the program menu. On the page that opens, find “Standard Theme” and click “Apply.” It is located at the bottom of the open list of topics on the right. If you don't find it, look again because it doesn't move even if you go to another page with a list of topics. After changing the theme, refresh the VKontakte page.
  • If you decide to completely get rid of the Get Styles program, go to Start on your PC and open Control Panel. In the window that opens, find “Add or Remove Programs”. Opposite the program icons, click on “Replace/Delete” one by one. The number of icons will be equal to the number of browsers you use.
  • You have created your account using the VKTema plugin. Then to delete a topic, find the “Delete topic” link in the left menu of your profile and click on it.
  • If you want to remove not only the design, but also the VKTema program itself, you should open the “Control Panel” through the “Start” menu, where on the “Add or Remove Programs” page, remove the program package by clicking one “Replace/Remove” button.
  • The Russian browser Orbitum is known for offering users advanced integration with social networks. Among the capabilities of this browser, we should highlight connecting a chat with friends on three social networks at the same time, listening to musical compositions on the VKontakte website through a special player, as well as installing themes for your account on this social network.

    Orbitum has a huge arsenal of diverse and original themes to decorate the VKontakete service. A theme is a design option for the appearance of a program or web page. Some people, using the opportunity to change the theme, after a certain period, decide to return to the standard account design. This is where the problems begin. Changing a theme in Orbitum to another is quite simple and intuitive, but not every user can figure out how to return the original design to an account on their own. Let's find out how to remove the Orbitum theme for VK and return the original visual design of this service.

How to remove a poster with a background from the feed

Unfortunately, at the moment, the developers have not included the ability to remove the “Try this background” notification from the news feed. This functionality is systemic, but let’s hope that the developers will not miss this point and will give users more opportunities to edit this functionality.

Things are a little different with your own posters - you can remove the background at any time, to do this, just go to the post editing section and click on the “Close Poster” cross.

"Explorer"

So, we continue to put things in order in our first “exit to the World Wide Web.” We will talk about Internet Explorer. We already know how you can add a topic to your page, but nothing is known about deleting it yet.

In fact, putting up decoration is much more difficult than removing it. In order to return the profile to its original appearance, you will have to visit the “settings” again. In particular, the Appearance menu. Simply uncheck the “use custom design” box and save the settings. Restart the VKontakte page or update it - you will see how everything falls into place. Nothing complicated. Even the created design does not need to be erased. When they wanted it, they returned the “originality,” but when they got tired, they turned to the “standard.”

But don’t forget that we also have several other browsers reviewed. Now we will think about how to remove the topic in “Contact” in these applications. There will be nothing special or overly complicated here either.

How to delete a VKontakte theme and return the standard page style?

It will be easiest for you if you change the topic to “In the Union” or “Pre-revolutionary”. For those who don’t know: these options are located in “Settings” - “Language”. You just need to uncheck the old theme and select “Russian” from the list of languages.

If your case is more complex, then in order to delete a VKontakte topic, actions must be performed depending on what browser you use to access the Internet.

  1. Internet Explorer
    . Go to the “Tools” menu, then “Internet options”, “General”, “Accessibility”. Uncheck the box next to “Format documents using my style sheet”.
  2. Mozilla Firefox
    . For this browser, the VKontakte theme is usually set using the Stylish add-on. The conclusion is simple - the add-on must be disabled. Do this by going to the "Tools/Add-ons" menu. Find Stylish in the list of tools and click on it once with the mouse. The “disable” and “delete” buttons will appear. It will be enough to disable it, and the VKontakte theme will change to the standard one.
  3. Opera
    . On the View tab (left), select Site Settings. Uncheck the box next to “Enable form styling.” At the same time, delete the path to the css file. After clicking the OK button, everything will return to its previous place.
  4. Google Chrome
    . In the upper right corner there is an icon in the form of a wrench. By clicking on it, you will be taken to the “Tools” section. Then go to the Extensions pop-up menu. Find the inscription VKstyles and next to it click the “Delete” button.

Making a VKontakte page in 5 steps

Step 1.

The first step to register a page is to go to the official website https://vk.com. When you request “Create a VKontakte page” in search engines, you may get completely different addresses, for example, links to different manuals.

Step 2.

You need the window that is located below (circled in red in the picture). As soon as you write your last name, first name and date of birth, click the “Register” button.

Registration can be done through (everything will look almost identical).

If you have a Facebook page, then you can do without registration and simply log in through your existing social network account.

Today, registration takes place only on the basis of linking the page to a mobile phone number. The administration was forced to do this for the safety of its users. If the page is accessed from an unknown computer or phone, a notification in the form of SMS will immediately be sent to your number.

Step 4.

After entering the number, you should receive an SMS on your phone containing a code to confirm your registration. Enter it in the specified field and click the “Send code” button.

Step 5.

After sending the code, you need to come up with a unique password that will be difficult for scammers to crack. After entering, you will immediately be taken to your .

Thus, the login is your phone number, and the password is a code that you yourself came up with. Be sure to write it down in your notebook so you don’t forget.

Advice! Do not use your date of birth, first name, last name, etc. for your password. For strong protection, you should use Latin letters + numbers mixed in a chaotic order.

Registration is now complete.

Next, you need to fill in the fields with personal information and photographs. If you decide to create an account to communicate with real friends/classmates, then you should provide reliable information about yourself, and also upload only your photos. This will make it easier for people to find you and add you to their friends list.

How to delete a VKontakte page?

Many people are interested not only in how to create a contact page, but also in how to delete it.
For various reasons, users decide to delete their account. There are no restrictions regarding deleting; it is quite simple to do. And what’s especially nice is that you will have escape routes. But first things first!

First, you need to go to the specified address: https://vk.com/settings?act=deactivate. Or go to the settings tab and simply scroll to the bottom of the window.

Let's return to the question that you can still change your mind about the fact that you no longer need a VKontakte account. Indeed, after deletion, the user still has the right to restore his page for some time.

To return your account to work, just go to the main page, where you will need to enter your login, password and click the “Restore” button.

According to the rules of the site, if a user does not visit a deleted account for 7 months, then it is permanently deleted.

After this, it is impossible to restore the old VKontakte page (including all the data that was stored on it).

Please note: after deletion (even permanent), your phone number still remains in the social network’s database. That is, it will no longer be possible to link another page to this number again.

Even after deletion, all the likes and comments you put on other people's pages will remain. If you do not want your first and last name to be on VK, then change them to fictitious ones before deleting.

Better yet, before you make a VKontakte page

, think again about what part of your life you are ready to “open up” to other people. After all, despite all the precautions and privacy measures, what has already made its way onto the Internet is very difficult to remove from there without a trace.

Wanting to diversify the design of their VKontakte page, many find services on the Internet with an abundance of design themes and install the theme to their taste and color. You won’t find any kind of page styles among users: anime, sports, all kinds of butterfly-flowers, Japanese, and 80s…

But here’s the problem: over time, any topic, even one that all the friends who came to visit were delighted with, begins to cause boredom and even irritation. Slowly you begin to yearn for the strict and stylish standard design of VKontakte.

How to remove material

The following instructions will help you quickly remove washable material from the wall.

  1. Thoroughly moisten the surface with water from a bottle with a spray nozzle or sponge.
  2. Wait 15-20 minutes. If it is difficult to remove, then the procedure with water must be repeated several times. You can use a special composition that quickly softens the base.
  3. Separate the material from the wall along the width from the seam side. Then remove the residue evenly.
  4. If the surface has had time to dry, then wet it slightly. The main thing is that the water does not drain, but is absorbed. You should be careful with drywall: it does not like moisture, under its influence it becomes deformed and falls off.
  5. Use the scraper with extreme caution. Otherwise, the plaster will be damaged and additional repairs will be required.
  6. Pay special attention to pieces of material located near sockets and electrical switches. Leaving areas untouched increases the risk of damage to the new finish.

Why remove old coverings from walls?

Some people do not clean the walls of outdated materials - they glue new wallpaper on top of the old ones. Many people do it the old fashioned way. But washable and old Soviet wallpaper are two different materials. Gross mistakes and careless attitude lead to unpleasant consequences. Here are the main ones:

  • Dilapidated coatings will soften under the influence of the adhesive and fall off. The result is visible to the naked eye: bulges and blisters form on the wall with the new coating. The decorative canvas looks like sloppy plaster.
  • Small folds and air bubbles appear between these two layers. They spoil the appearance of the wall and are difficult to get rid of. Over time, mold and black spots will appear in places with defects (read about why spots appear on wallpaper and how to get rid of them here). The person will have to make new repairs.
  • Various uncleaned contaminants and grease gradually affect the new canvas. The result is that after about three weeks the first blurry yellow spots appear.

How to make a VKontakte page official?
