Using themes can allow you to change the look and feel of your space to all users. There are several pre-installed themes that you can choose from as the starting point for your space. After applying a new theme, you can also edit the Color scheme on your space for even more personalization.
In order to change your theme, you must be a wiki space administrator. Under the Browse menu, select Space Admin. On the left side, select Themes under the Look and Feel section. Select your new theme from the list and click the Confirm button to apply it.
Descriptions and screen shots of some of the themes currently available in Confluence are listed below. Click on any of the images to maximize for a larger view.
