Themes allow you to personalise the 'look and feel' of Confluence. You can apply a theme to your entire Confluence site or 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:
    • If this space has the Default theme applied, go to the space and choose Space tools on the sidebar.
    • If this space has the Documentation theme applied, go to Browse in the top bar and select Space Admin.

    Note: This option appears only if you are a space administrator for the space or you are a super user (a member of the confluence-administrators group).

  2. Choose Look and Feel > Themes.
  3. Select a theme option.
  4. Choose Confirm.
