The “View” tab

Everything that shapes how VKontakte looks: theme, font, background, filters, and saved appearance profiles.

Quick access to any feature

Inside the extension press Ctrl / Cmd + K and start typing a name — search opens the feature and highlights it. The section anchors on this page match the extension’s features.

Display mode

Reshapes the VKontakte page frame: the sidebar, content width, and where it sits on screen.

How it works

Layout. The sidebar can go minimal (icons with tooltips), stay pinned while scrolling, or get a background highlight.
Content width. Turn it on and the profile, feed, and messages stretch; the slider sets 900–2500 px with a live preview underneath.
Page offset. Shifts content left or right by up to 600 px — handy on wide monitors.
Search. The search bar can collapse into an icon that expands on hover.
Appearance. Compact spacing removes gaps between blocks, and avatar shape is picked from presets (drop, leaf, petal, blob) or a corner-radius percentage.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Display mode”. It’s the first block on the “View” tab.

Theme

Repaints all of VKontakte. This is the tab’s key block — highlighted and marked “Primary”.

How it works

Presets are grouped by category (Classic, AMOLED, Neon, and more). A click applies the theme instantly, no reload.
Pick your own background color with the eyedropper, and the extension derives the rest of the palette.
The “Blocks” group tunes card opacity, a glass blur behind translucent blocks, corner radius, and depth with shadows.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Theme”. Inside the tab it’s the “Theme” card marked “Primary”.

Accent color

One color for every interface accent — links, buttons, active elements.

How it works

Pick a color and it spreads across the whole VKontakte palette.
If the current theme has a recommended accent, the extension suggests it and applies it in one click.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Accent color”. A reset button appears in the header once a color is set.

Font

Changes the font across all of VKontakte — from a ready list or your own name.

How it works

A searchable font catalog with categories (popular, monospace, serif, and more); cards show the live typeface.
Add a custom font with a line like "Roboto", sans-serif. A “How to find?” hint links to Google Fonts.
Size is set by presets or a precise slider; advanced settings cover weight, italic, underline, case, and spacing.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Font”.

Visual filters

Apply an effect to the whole page: grayscale, sepia, invert, dimmed images, high contrast, low brightness.

How it works

Each filter is its own toggle, and they can be combined.
Turn on several at once and the extension warns it may slow the page down.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Visual filters”. Reset them all from the block header.

Background

Puts an image, a video, or full web wallpapers behind the page.

How it works

The “Presets” tab is a wallpaper catalog; “Custom” takes a link or a file from your computer.
Supports images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF), video by direct link or from YouTube, VK Video, Rutube and others, plus HTML wallpapers (animations, Wallpaper Engine).
Once a background is set, display settings open up: blur, dim, opacity, color filters, effects, and — for video — speed and volume.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Background”.

My profiles

Saves a whole appearance setup under a name and switches it with one click.

How it works

A profile holds the theme, accent, font, background, and filters together.
Overwrite a profile with the current look, rename it, or delete it; the active one is marked.
Profiles survive a settings reset.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “My profiles”. The “Profiles” section on the “View” tab.

Share a theme

Packs your look into a link — a friend opens it and applies the theme in one click.

How it works

Before generating, the “What goes into the link” block shows the exact parameters, grouped.
Only changed values are included; backgrounds stored as extension files are skipped since others can’t reach them.
The button copies a ready vkify.ru/theme/… address to the clipboard.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Share a theme”. The block at the bottom of the “View” tab.
