Status of Theme API ?

Steen Klingenberg June 7, 2021

Trying to follow the idea of customizing fonts in our Confluence cloud instance has lead me to this page, on Theme creation:  https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/theme/

It says at the top: The Theme API was built for a UI that Confluence has recently moved away from, and doesn't support the new UI. Based on Theme API usage to date, we are evaluating whether Theme API will support the new UI.

So, Atlassian, what's the status ? Have you made up your mind ?

I sure hope, there will be some way for cloud customers to actually customize our own pages. I am really surprised to find out that a simple look and feel change, like changing font, is not a core feature! Read any article on how to make your company texts stand out and you will read about visual identity, including fonts and colours.

Hi @Steen Klingenberg,

For development related questions it's generally better to ask over at the Developer Community (community.developer.atlassian.com). The most recent comment from Atlassian regarding this topic is probably this one: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/is-creating-a-theme-for-confluence-cloud-still-possible/36460/25

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Sven

Hi @Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_ 

Thanks a lot! I've read the thread, and though disappointing and disturbing as for our choice of documentation tool, it does provide up-to-date information.

I really hope that you and other good people will help put pressure on Atlassian to change perspective and fix this, in my opionion, huge bug.
