Confluence 1.4 Documentation

Index

Confluence allows you to customise the colour scheme of a space. By default, a space's colour scheme is based on global settings configured from the Administration Console.

You need to be a space administrator to edit a space's colour scheme.

To change the colour scheme for a space,

  1. Click on the 'Browse Space' link for the space. This is located at the top of every page and beside the space link on the dashboard.

  2. Go to the 'Space Admin' tab. This tab is only displayed if you are a space administrator.

  3. Click on 'Colour Scheme' in the left panel under the heading 'Look and Feel'. This will bring up a new screen. See Screenshot below.

  4. Click on 'Edit space colour scheme'. Enter standard HTML/CSS2 colour codes, or use the colour-picker to choose a new colour from the palette provided. Any changes you make will immediately be reflected across the Confluence installation.

The colour scheme applies to the following UI elements:

  • Top Bar - the bar across the top of the page that contains the breadcrumbs.
  • Space Name Text - the text of the current space name located above the page title.
  • Heading Text - all heading tags throughout the space.
  • Links - all links throughout the space.
  • Borders and Dividers - table borders and dividing lines.
  • Menu Bar Background - background of top navigational buttons
  • Menu Bar Text - text that appears on the menu bar
  • Menu Bar Background Highlight - background colour of menu bar when highlighted.
  • Menu Bar Text Highlight - menu bar text when highlighted
