Themes allow you to personalise the 'look and feel' of Confluence. You can apply a theme to your entire Confluence site and to individual spaces. Choose a specific theme if you want to add new functionality or significantly alter the appearance of Confluence.

Confluence comes with a selection of themes. In addition, a site administrator can install new themes as plugins via the Confluence Administration Console. Provided that the theme is installed into your Confluence site, any space administrator can apply a theme to a space.

By default when you create a new space, the space will have the Confluence default theme.

To apply a theme to a space:

  1. Choose Browse > Space Admin.
    (info) Space Admin is displayed only if you are a space administrator for that space or you are a Confluence system administrator.

  2. Click Themes in the left-hand panel under 'Look and Feel'.
  3. Select a theme option.
  4. Click Confirm.

    Is there a way that I can change the default theme to be used for new spaces? I want all new spaces I create to use the same theme.

      Hi,

      Unfortunately, this is currently not achievable in Confluence and there is already an improvement request for it:

      Feel free to cast a vote to increase its popularity, comment on it, and watch it for future updates.

      Cheers,
      Joa

    Joachim,

    Is there a way to bulk change themes? Maybe even some SQL? I want to change all personal spaces from the deprecated Clickr theme to the global default theme.

    Thanks,

    Mark.

        I think I've found the answer to my own question: [http://forums.atlassian.com/message.jspa?messageID=257336636] gives useful sql pointers for theme data.

        Looks like the information needed is held in the bandana table:

        • space id is held in bandanacontext column
        • theme is held in bandanavalue

        cheers, Helen
