Here I will try to "rate" - on a complete subjective basic - some Theme/style Plugins for Confluence 

 

RefinedWiki Original Theme

Marketplkace listing: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.refinedwiki.confluence.plugins.theme.original

A fine plugin for spicing up a site or space relatively easy, with several very nice themes right out of the box, combined with a wide color range. A fair part of customizations are available for headers, footers and menus.

The designs are very usable, but I find the Dashboard links, breadcrumbing and links a bit confysing and also the language parts are quite poor. The theme has alternate styling for blog "dsfsdf" wich makes the blog lokking very bloglike, and very little confluence like; wich for my part is not good, as the blog looking is distancing it from the pages looking, as if I was actually using two seperate prodcuts.

The footer designer is pretty nice, but also quite limited, making the footer 90% of what You were aming for. The Plugin makes it possible to create Your own designs, wich must be nice, but also quite timecomsuming

I have not tested the Dashboard part. 

Conclusion: Very, very good if You can live with some limitations regarding design and footer. Somewhat confusing in linking.

 

Enterprise Theme

Marketplace lising: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/net.getunik.confluence.skin.core

This is a very usable pluging with a log of extra usable Macros available, even if the Theme is not active on a site, making is usefull with other themes.

The design is rather flexible and the fact that You have a wiki markup "placeholder" for both headers, footer, sidebars and below contant make it easy to set ind extra macros, contents and stuff, that would be relative diffecult to put in otherewise. Also, all the content placeholders can either just inherit from the global design (in the Confluence Admin section) or be maintained per site, very very flexiple.

Also, quite som fair amount of styling is available, though the lack of fontsizes are completely missing, and the font are set rather small for the theme. This can be fixed easily with the following stud in the Global HTML (or style pr. space):

 

Also, the theming and the sidebars are very flexible for admin to set design, and some very special features as "Set as landing page" versure the default "Embed page View" are very nice and gives users a good inpression on hitting a page (this is customizealbe per page):

 

Conclusion: An excellent pluging, but the small fonts and missing Designer gives it some heavy limitations.

 

Zen Foundation

Marketplace listing: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.zenfoundation

Definitily the strongest pluing with the largest cusomizations possiblities, wich - for my part - also makes it the one not to use, and the customizations is very timeconsuming.

Secondly, the out of the box designs are so ugly, that You feel like giving up instantly; but this is what "professionals" often use for making more public sites, when compeding agains typical CMS rivals as Joomla, Drupal etc etc

Conclusion: Problably an excellent product, but set of a lot of time to design You style(s). As a private focusing on content rather than nitty gritty design, I gave up on the plugin.
