How to change the design of the Yandex home page in the browser

The ability to decorate the interface by changing the background or so-called wallpaper now exists in almost any popular browser. In some places it is simplified, and in others, on the contrary, it is significantly expanded. In Yandex Browser, the user has access to almost the best arsenal of functions among competitors for managing background images.

If you have just recently installed the application and want to understand the basic features, then we will briefly go over the basics to get you acquainted:

• background in Yandex Browser is an image for an empty start tab displaying a scoreboard
• There are two types of background:
  static
• animated (“live wallpaper”)
• you can use a background from a prepared gallery or upload your own

In general, about setting up backgrounds in Yandex Browser

Setting wallpapers and themes helps the user design the first Yandex tab to their taste. The search engine’s catalog contains more than 200 photos and videos, divided into categories “Cities”, “Fields”, “Underwater World”, “Skyscrapers”, etc.

Before changing the picture, you need to consider the following:

• for new high-power computers, you can select an animated screensaver from the gallery depicting picturesque seascapes, forests or city streets;
• if you set the background image to a good resolution, PC performance will decrease, but the browser will work quickly;
• To work on low-power devices, it is better to choose a simple or plain screensaver.

The developers have provided the ability to automatically change pictures from the browser gallery every day. However, you cannot use your own wallpaper collection. You can only upload photos from your computer yourself.

Deleting an image

There is no answer to the question of how to remove the background in Yandex Browser. There must be a screensaver in the background.

You can optionally disable the animation if it slows down the web browser or makes it difficult for the user to concentrate. To do this you need:

• press the menu sign;
• select “Settings”>”Appearance Settings”;
• uncheck the “Display animated background in a new tab in high resolution” option.

You can use another method:

• open a new tab;
• click on the 3 dots to the right of the “Background Gallery” button;
• deactivate the “Background Animation” function.

Instead of an image, you can install a monochromatic picture from the “Colors” section in the gallery.

Setting your own background

To put your photos on the screensaver, you need to:

• open a new tab;
• click on the vertical ellipsis next to the words “Background Gallery”;
• In the menu, select the “Load from computer” function;
• indicate the path to the photo in the corresponding line of the window that opens;
• press the “Load” button.

Only images in jpeg and png formats are suitable for installation. By default, only jpeg photos are shown when trying to upload. In the lower right corner, you can change the image format by clicking on the “JPEG Image” in the download. Select “PNG Image” from the list.

Animated background

To install this option, you need to select the “Video” category in the gallery. There are more than 20 animations lasting up to 30 seconds. The user just needs to identify the desired video, click on it and click on the “Apply” entry.

To change the screensavers daily, you need to click the “Alternate these backgrounds” button in the “Video” category. After that, every day at 00:00 a new live video will appear on the splash screen.

To change the automatically installed animated background, you need to click on the sign with 3 dots on the right under the panel of frequently visited sites. In the lower corner of the picture that appears there will be arrows, by clicking on which you can change the video recording.

How to make a dark background in Yandex browser, change it and remove it

Modern web browsers have learned to adapt well to the user's wishes, changing their appearance and behavior. The Yandex browser has been more successful in this matter than others; in it we can change the background of a photo from the official catalog, the Internet, a computer, and even make an animated screensaver. The browser background on the “Scoreboard” tab has a fairly wide range of settings: daily flipping, video, animation, etc. Additionally, the Yandex web browser helps you change the background on some popular sites, such as VKontakte.

Recommendations for choosing a browser background

If the decision has been made to use an exclusively downloaded image, rather than a ready-made one from the gallery, then ideally it should meet some conditions. This is necessary to ensure that the system does not have an additional load that slows it down, and that the image is displayed correctly.

• The size of the picture in relation to the screen. Most modern desktop monitors have a resolution of 1920x1080 , and laptop screens have a resolution of 1366x768 pixels. You can find out this data in the screen parameters.
• The amount of memory occupied by the image should be as small as possible. The smaller its size, the faster the browser will be able to display it on the screen.

Interesting! All of the above parameters correspond to pictures from the finished gallery, especially for optimal use of the browser.

To find a beautiful image, you can use a search engine. An example of high-quality pictures is the Goodfon service, which stores millions of unique objects. This is ideal if you need a background of a fir branch, a car, nature, or any other theme.
