There are three steps involved involved in creating a theme:

• Modifying the look and feel of Confluence: Work with the different components that define the look and feel of Confluence and modify them to suit your theme:
  • Layout
  • Colour Scheme (optional)
  • Stylesheet (optional)
    
    
• Configuring the atlassian-plugin.xml file: Edit the central configuration file for the theme plugin to reference the new files defining your theme.
• Adding a theme icon: Add a preview icon for your theme.
  
  
• Deploying the theme as a plugin : Bundle the files into a jar file and deploy the theme as a plugin into Confluence.
