You can use a theme to personalise the 'look and feel' of Confluence. Some themes simply change the basic styling, others add new functionality or significantly alter the appearance of Confluence. You can apply a theme to your entire Confluence site and to individual spaces.

Confluence comes with a selection of themes. In addition, a site administrator can install new themes as plugins via the Confluence Administration Console. (Not applicable to Confluence OnDemand.)

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 across the site:

  1. Ensure that the theme you wish to use has been installed as a plugin, if it is not shipped with Confluence. See Managing Add-ons and Macros. (Not applicable to Confluence OnDemand.)
  2. Choose the cog icon  at top right of the screen, then choose Confluence Admin.
  3. Choose Themes in the left-hand panel.
  4. The screen will display all available themes. Select a radio button to choose a theme.
  5. Choose Confirm.
