Confluence Docs 3.0 : Theme Plugins This page last changed on Nov 03, 2008 by smaddox. 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. ### Stylesheet themes Creating a theme which only relies on stylesheets and images is much simpler than customising HTML, and more likely to work in future versions of Confluence. Creating a Stylesheet Theme ### Custom HTML themes Creating a new theme with custom HTML consists of two steps: Creating a theme with decorators and colour schemes, which defines how each page looks. Packaging and installing a Theme Plugin - themes are part of our plugin system. ### Installing your theme To install it within Confluence, please read Installing and Configuring Plugins Manually. ### Example themes There are several other themes that you can use as examples to learn from and extend. Stylesheet themes: Easy Blue Theme Custom HTML themes: Clickr Theme Comment Tab Theme Left-nav Theme We've also prodvided a Confluence Space export for theme developers.
