Once the theme has been reset, there's no way to get it back unless you downloaded the theme settings before resetting the theme. |
Resetting the theme using Theme Configuration
If your theme is in a state where you can still access the menus in Theme Configuration, you can reset the theme using the option on the File menu:
You will be asked to confirm the action and then the theme will be reverted to it's defaults for the current space.
Resetting the theme manually using the web browser
There may be times when theme configuration has become so roasted (our technical term for "death by over-zealous theme customisation") that you just want to wipe it out and start again, however since the theme is roasted you cant actually access the menu options to perform this task.
To reset the theme via a web browser you need to be logged in as an administrator of the space or, if resetting the global theme, as a site administrator.
Making a backup
In most cases it's worth retrieving a backup of the current theme configuration so that you have a copy of your settings which can then be edited to fix them if desired.
To do this, modify the following URL so it's pointing to the correct server and replace XXXXX with the Space Key

The space key is shown in brackets next to the space title in the list of spaces on the Dashboard. If you want to backup/reset the global theme don't specify a space Key. |
of the space which you want to backup:

the

...
via

...
you'll

need

sufficient

rights

files
...
on

the

disk
...
where

the

...
files
...
are

stored.
...
Navigate
...
to
...
the
...
"config"
...
folder
...
within
...
your

Confluence
...
installation
...
directory.

If

backing

up
...
or
...
resetting

the

theme

settings,
...
you'll
...
see
...
a

file
...
called

builder-space.xml
...
-
...
take
...
a
...
copy
...
and

then

delete

it

to

a

go

in

to

the

folder

named

as

that

For

example,

if

your

Key
...
is

"fish",

there

will

be

directory

via

the

web

interface
...
-
...
they

are

a

different

to

the

that

are

downloaded

via
