The Woo-skies open up to bring you…

17

by Adii Rockstar in New Themes

Even though the title sounds almost Biblical, we won’t be that blasphemous… But our latest theme – Open Air – is sure to Woo you to a major extent.

This theme has been a while in the making, but that’s only because we like to produce quality themes around here; instead of having to push out mediocre designs every second week.

So if you want to get an idea of what Open Air has to offer you: read the rest of the post…

Design

a more personal front page. And you’ll note that the differences in the header is quite significant when interchanging between these two options; for the magazine option, you’ll be able to feature an important post, whilst the personal option displays an about the author section, as well as links to his / her Twitter account and e-mail.

Functionality

After releasing 10 themes before Open Air, it becomes really difficult to wax lyrical about all of the features, but when we’re already including all of the standard WooThemes greatness, there’s not much to say… Oh, except for the fact that we’ve added a Video Player… :)

We’ve decided to experiment a bit (both in terms of the coding challenges, but also in terms of what our users would like us to add to our themes) and the result is a new built-in Video Player. The nice thing about the video player is that it picks up the videos from the posts that you’ve published and you thus do not need to publish video-only posts to have them display there. Nifty, right?

Come on… We know you want to give this air a bit of a whiff…

You should really view the the demo of Open Air here, because the theme is much better than this blog post (which is just a clever marketing attempt on our part).

If you think we’re stark raving mad to think this theme is pretty cool, feel free to tell us that in the comments. But we can’t guarantee that we’re gonna take you seriously… :) Hope you guys and girls enjoy the new theme and look forward to your feedback!

    A lot of people say they wouldn’t pay for a theme, but with a custom video player? Come on! The only thing I would change is to make the top links background a little lighter blue, to go with the header area.

    Cool theme. I’m not really a fan of magazine theme but to have a magazine and personal blog together is a big plus.

    Do you have a screen capture how a personal blog layout will look like? Would love to see it first before making my purchase.

    Guys, this theme is awesome. When I joined the woo theme club I fully intended to just download all your themes and not renew my subscription.

    I guess I didn’t believe you would keep your promise and release great themes each month.

    But after seeing the woo portfolio series and now open-air I know this is bloodie good value for money.

    @Robert – Thanks for the kind words! And I have to say it: but we told you so! :) You can expect some more cracking releases from us before the end of the year – so a subscription is never a bad option…
