Dashboard

Pick a dashboard

You can choose between two different dashboard modes and adjust the width of the right column of the standard Confluence dashboard.

Header

Click on the >Upload file< button and insert a logo of your choice. Then decide whether you want it to be placed on the far left or right side of your header. Furthermore, adjust the height of the header, pick a background color or upload a header background image and label your intranet.

Menubar

Adapt your color

The main menu is positioned below your header and your settings in this section will not affect any other settings within Confluence. You can pick a specific color for your menu background which will have no impact on the look of your create-buttons.

Please note that this feature is only available if you have the Navigation Menu Editor installed.

Buttons and links

Buttons can be individually configured. There are two different types of buttons: the create button which adds a page or a post and the primary buttons which are used for important actions in your intranet. Edit the button colors as well as the hover-color. In addition, you can adjust the global link color which will impact all major links.

Edit content elements

On top you find a selection of editable headlines concerning their color including the page headline. Despite the background , hover, and text color of the "back to top"-button you are also able to change the color of the various panels such as the information or warning panel.

Linchpin sidebar

 

Integrated sidebar

The Linchpin sidebar comes integrated with the LTP. You can pick between two different styles and your specific corporate color for the tab background, the icons, and the active tab icon. You will find the Linchpin sidebar on the far right side of your Confluence or Linchpin home page.

Footer

This section is concerned with the footer at the bottom of your Confluence or Linchpin. Adjust the colors of the background, footer headline, footer link, and footer text. You can also add up to four individual links which will be anchored in your footer.

Room for more individualization
