Where’s that glow coming from Woo?
23. Oct, 2008 by Adii Rockstar in New Themes
Something new in the room? Nah, we’re just adding a few things to improve the ambient glow around here… So can we hear a nice big “Hello!” for the latest addition to the WooThemes family – Ambience by the incredible Ambience is our first theme that is solely targeted at personal bloggers, whilst it also incorporates a strong lifestreaming element (which is another first for us). So instead of having a “super” theme with a wide variety of features, we’ve decided to go completely niche with this one and really just target personal bloggers (as we had neglected this niche until now).
(You will also see this trend evident in other new theme teaser – from Matt Brett – we posted a while back.)
DESIGN
As we mentioned above, Ambience is again built on top of the same, super-feature, super-functional themes backend as all our other themes).
We have basically integrated the Lifestream plugin by David Cramer into the theme (you still need to use the separate plugin) and created a custom widget specifically for Ambience. This means that you get the great functionality bundled with the plugin itself, whilst it integrates effortlessly into Ambience’s design style. If you have a look at Ambience’s live demo, you’ll note that the lifestream widget in the sidebar is pretty nifty… Right? 
YOU’RE GLOWING ALREADY!
Come on, we can sense that you’re whole face is already glowing and you’re rubbing your hands together in glee… So why don’t you just run on over and read more about the features of Ambience, view the demo or even buy this little beauty. Hope you enjoy!

Nice looking theme. What does an image look like in it – any border treatments? A lot of lifestreaming to me would be to throw quick images in as well.

@stefan – Thanks for the congrats!
See you’re using Fresh Folio now, but Ambience definitely an option for the future hehe…
@hash – I’ve just added an image into a post on the demo. There’s no elaborate styling – just the basics is covered.

I love this template, but is too expensive for me. Why not create the template cheaper?
