Themes define a look and feel for Confluence. Confluence ships with several themes that you can use, such as the default theme and or the left-nav theme. Theme plugins, on the other hand, allow you to create your totally customized look and feel. A theme can be applied to an entire Confluence site or to individual spaces. Creating a new theme consists of two steps:

  1. Creating a theme with decorators and colour schemes, which defines how each page looks.
  2. Packaging and installing a Theme Plugin - themes are part of our plugin system.

To install it within Confluence, please read Installing and Configuring Plugins manually.

There are several other themes that you can use as examples to learn from and extend:

We've also prodvided a Confluence Space export for theme developers. You can import this space into your development Confluence, and check each page to make sure all of the Confluence content looks good in your new theme.
