The practice of defining how your site will look and feel

Theme design (or "theming") is the practice of developing a *theme* or themes for your Confluence site with Brikit Theme Press.

When you develop a theme, you can make decisions about:

  • What *colors* will be included in your theme and how they will be used;
  • What kinds of fonts will be used;
  • How plain text, links, and images will be presented;
  • Any custom CSS or JavaScript that you may choose to add;
  • What types of users will see the Confluence Header, Page Tools Menu, and Sidebar by default; and
  • How pages printed from your themed site or space will appear.

You can also make decisions about the appearance, sizing, positioning, and/or styling of the following:

  • Space or site *banners*;
  • The Confluence Header;
  • The Confluence Page Tools menu;
  • The page canvas;
  • A page's header area, including any Theme Press header content;
  • Logos;
  • The Confluence search box;
  • The Simple Toolbar;
  • *Menus* created from *architect pages*;
  • A page's *title area*, including how page titles appear in *layouts* that include them;
  • *Breadcrumbs*;
  • *Page creation and modification date information*;
  • *Content layers*;
  • *Content columns*;
  • *Content blocks*;
  • Tabs of *tabbed blocks*;
  • *Expander block* triggers;
  • Blocks *configured to "spin"*;
  • Page *label display and "like" interface*, plus the *surrounding area that encapsulates both*;
  • Page *comments* and their *surrounding area*; and
  • A page's *footer area*, including *footer content* and *block design*.

Theming also allows you to control the look and feel of the following macros:


Any of the above can be configured in the *Theme Designer* by any member of a user group that has been granted permission to access the *Theme tab* in the *Theme Press Control Panel*.
