Confluence 5.0 のサポートは終了しています。

Confluence 5.0 does not include the Easy Reader theme. We are moving towards a single Confluence theme that presents a simplified default experience. At the same time, we want to make it easy for add-on developers to extend Confluence with custom themes. Our analysis has shown that very few Confluence sites use the Easy Reader theme.
What will happen on upgrade
If your Confluence site currently uses the Easy Reader theme, your site and the spaces that use the theme will be automatically transferred to the default theme on the upgrade to Confluence 5.0.
Why we removed the Easy Reader theme
The Easy Reader theme was originally designed to give people an easier way to read Confluence content – narrow width, larger fonts increased contrast, etc. Many of these issues are addressed by the updated default theme being introduced in Confluence 5. For example, we now have a larger default font size and the width of the page is narrower due to the sidebar. Plus, the new default theme in Confluence 5 provides a number of new features, like shortcut links, that aren't available in the Easy Reader theme. These factors reduced the need for the Easy Reader theme quite a bit.
The Easy Reader theme was designed to give people an easier way to read Confluence content – narrow width, larger fonts and so on. Many of these issues are addressed by the new Atlassian Design Guidelines introduced in Confluence 5.0. We now have a larger default font size, the width of the page is narrower due to the sidebar, and so on. This reduced the need for this theme quite a bit.
Additionally, many web browsers these days (Firefox, Safari, Mobile Safari) ship with a 'Reader' mode which the user can enable to remove all styling from the system and format the page content in a column in the middle. Those that don't have a mode have popular extensions (iReader, Tidy Reader) or bookmarklets (Readability) to provide this functionality. We don't want to maintain features in the application that are better served by browser features. In this case, browser extensions or settings actually do a better job too – the end user is in control of the readability of their page, rather than the space administrator or site administrator.

While we do apologize for the disruption this causes you, we think in the long run you'll find the Confluence 5.0 design to be a major improvement over the previous design. If you would like to give us feedback on this change, please add a comment to this page. We are especially interested to know which features of the Easy Reader theme you use and value the most.

Feb 21, 2013Thanks for the info. We only used the "easy reader" theme because the default theme seemed to be a bit out of time (in terms of font size and page width) and "easy reader" was the only alternative available in onDemand.
I'm sure that you've addressed the shortcomings of the standard layout in the new version, so I endorse the automatic switch.

Feb 21, 2013I really liked the narrower page width of the Easy Reader theme.
Are we going to set page width with the new theme? or apply another custom theme?

Feb 21, 2013We don't have a narrow page layout replacement for you right now. But I've filed a ticket at CONF-28209 - Getting issue details... STATUS where we can gauge the demand for it and you can track it's progress.

Feb 21, 2013The "easy reader" theme we are using for blogs to have more common look and feel like other blogs. How we can achieve this right now?

Feb 21, 2013Is there a way to tell which of my pages use the easy reader theme? It's not set as the default theme, but I got the email, so it must be used somewhere...

Feb 22, 2013There's no bulk way to do this so you'll want to look at the setting for each space. Note that it will be automatically converted over to the new theme for you so there's nothing you need to do.

May 04, 2013Now that I'm using Confluence 5, I'm not at all upset about the loss of Easy Rider. Rather, the opposite: I find that that the text treatment in the new theme, while more "clean" is actually much harder to read than the Confluence 4 stock theme, whose space efficiency and readability and formatting were easily accessible.

Jul 01, 2013After using the Easy Reader design for 4 years we are now forced to use something else like it or not. There has to be a better reason for removing it then you gave. Was it technically impossible? Did you not have enough time to keep it in? Why can't you include it?

Oct 08, 2013It is possible to use the Reporting plugin to produce a list of all spaces and the theme each one uses. Reporting is a paid plugin though. If anyone wants the markup for this, reply to this comment and I'll happily post it.

Oct 15, 2013I've been using it to provide a homepage that doesn't have any side navigation (whilst other pages do). There doesn't seem to be any other way of doing this

Please bring the easy reader theme back! This theme provided a user freindly layout that us used to share general information. It saved the need to have a separate webpage.

Feb 14, 2014Fixed-Layout is mandatory for web sites.
The Easy reader should be maintained or replaced.

Feb 27, 2014Dear All,
you can have a fixed width with the documentation theme using custom stylesheet:
#full-height-container {
border-left: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
border-right: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
width: 1020px !important;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
box-shadow: 0px 5px 10px #666;
}
