How can I customize a great looking interface for Intranet use with Confluence?

[Angelica Isaksson]

Dear Atlassians,

We recently purchased Confluence and we are now in the process of setting up an Intranet.

I would like to have a better looking interface and I am wondering how you can go about changing the layout, if it is possible to change the look completely?

Nicer colours, maybe tabs, a background photo is some of the ideas we have. Are there themes for this, or can we pass this onto our IT department for them to customize it?

You can do some stuff off-the-shelf (look for Admin -> Look and feel)

But have a look in the marketplace for "themes" - Confluence has support for multiple themes in it (you can theme everything the same, or do it on a space-by-space basis), and there are loads on the marketplace.

For heavy customisation, look for the theme editors though !

Hi @Angelica Isaksson,

In addition to Nic's comment, two theme add-on's I would recommend would be Refined Wiki or Brikit 

Thanks,

There's also Adaptavist's Theme Builder, which gives you a huge amount of flexibility, but no real off-the-shelf themes. Give Refined and Brikit a go first, but if their predefined themes (with options) aren't enough, you'll need to look at TB.
