How may I change the global look and feel ?

[Steen Klingenberg]

I want to customize the apperance of our pages in a newly created Confluence site. 

First off I want to use company chosen fonts for texts.

All guidance point to space settings => look and feel => edit CSS. But this seems to be for 'server instance' only. How can I achieve a change in a cloud instance ?

@Steen Klingenberg there are very limited options for customising the look and feel of Confluence Cloud. You won't be able to change the styling of the overall interface.

If you check the marketplace, you will find solutions that have attempted to mitigate this in some way, but they can't replicate the styling flexibility of the server version.

Hi James, thanks for answering - I'm slowly realising the limitations of the Cloud version. I've tried out a few apps but so far found none that does the job :-/

In another thread here Atlassian has stated that they are looking into this, but with a time line of 6-12 months! Disappointing I think, esp. coming from several companies using the Confluence server version.

Does this help at all? Just got here myself so idk:

What's the global look and feel?

Global look and feel refers to a theme that's applied at the site level, and applies to all newly created spaces. Changes made to the global look and feel will flow through to all spaces that inherit it.

If a space has its own theme applied, it won't inherit changes from the global look and feel.

To go back to inheriting the global look and feel, click Global look and feel from the Themes tab.

Thanks for sharing and changing the logo is a tiny win :-) My mission, though, is more to change the style of the space content, like getting rid of wasted white space, changing styling of headers, using other fonts...

Thanks! Regrettably this goes for the Data center version - which I've found out - is a completely different ball game when it comes to features og configurability :-)
