This theme configuration is based on the popular open source wiki, MediaWiki - the same wiki used for Wikipedia.
This theme config is by no means complete, the links in the left sidebar are not yet connected to their respective pieces of functionality. It was created because we get lots of requests asking if Confluence can be made to look more like MediaWiki (especially for organisations migrating from MediaWiki to Confluence which is a very common occurrence).
You'll need to install the following plugins before you can use this theme config:
This theme config has an image file used for the background. Before uploading the theme config to your site you'll have to check through the XML file for occurrences of %%RESOURCEPATH%%
and replace those with URL's to your desired graphics using a plain text editor such as Notepad or SciTE (don't use things like Write or Word as they will make a horrible mess of the XML).
We recommend attaching the background image (headbg.jpg) to the home page of the space where the theme is being used and then right-click the links shown on the attachments screen to get the link to the graphic.
The URL that you copied from the attachments screen will probably be similar to this:
http://mysite.com:8080/wiki/download/attachments/65539/headbg.jpg
For best results we strongly recommend using a relative URL - ie. remove the server bit from the start to leave something like this:
/wiki/download/attachments/65539/headbg.jpg
Once that's done, remove the file from the end to get something like this:
/wiki/download/attachments/65539
And then replace %%RESOURCEPATH%%
with whatever you are left with.
It's a bit of a messy process - hopefully a future version of Confluence will provide a central place to store files making this process far easier to automate.
