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.
Documentation Theme (Default)
This theme is well suited for structured content, such as documentation. It features a table of contents (page tree) on the left, making it easier to see the structure of a space and move from page to page. You can customize the left-hand panel, page header and page footer.
TechTime Blog Theme
This theme will be familiar to users who have used blogging platforms such as WordPress or Blogger. It includes a side panel to the right that has a linked "About" section as well a listing of the most popular articles. Other features include a calendar to jump to specific entries, prominent search bar, and an area for featured entries.
Global Look and Feel
This theme is the globally configured look and feel. You will notice that it looks similar to the wiki dashboard. The theme color scheme and layout can be customized manually. This is the most basic wiki theme.
Easy Reader Theme
This is a fixed-width variation of the Confluence Global Look and Feel theme. It has larger fonts, a smooth gradient background and comfortable line length that make it ideal for displaying and reading longer documents.
Additional Themes and Customization
Additional theme options and customization may be available for your wiki through the Adaptavist Theme Builder or through the use of custom CSS. If you are interested in further customization, please contact the Wallace Center for additional information on how to proceed.
