New Theme: On Demand
Another beautiful theme worthy of the red carpet has been added to our ever-expanding cast of premium upgrades.
Designed by Jason Schuller of Press75, On Demand was created to bring videos front and center. Adding them into posts is a snap, and you’re free to use virtually any embeddable video format from any video service. On Demand also works brilliantly with WordPress.com shortcodes.
On Demand: Home Page
Also included in On Demand is a custom Featured Posts widget that allows you to pull in any number of posts from a specified category, as well as several nice Theme Options to help you show off your site content exactly as you’d like it.
There are lots of other goodies offered by On Demand. A custom background color, custom website logo, social media links, four widget areas, and full width page template all come rolled into this video-friendly theme.
On Demand is a premium upgrade for your blog; read more about its features on the Theme Showcase or dive right into previewing it on your blog from Appearance → Themes.

What an awesome time to come up with this awesome theme!!
I have been seriously considering making a video blog and this is exactly what I need to start one with! Thanks to the ever so creative team of WordPress! 😀

Very dramatic! I love when your themes allow for customizable components like color and multiple widget areas — you’re making a nice menu of choices available for your bloggers, and we appreciate it!

i use video regularly on my blog and have complained often (and loudly) that the design team needs to come up with different color “play arrows”. Not only should we have options for the arrow being in different colors, but the square around it too. A white arrow on a ski video is, well, you get the picture, or don’t, in this instance! This is a creative start but it doesn’t solve the problem for those of us with other themes.

I feel your pain! But keep in mind, though, that this issue doesn’t actually have anything to do with themes and everything to do with how video player makers choose to code their players. I’m willing to bet money that the reason most play controls on videos are muted is because those colors work extremely well with a variety of hues. That said, I totally get you and also wish for more variety sometimes. 🙂

The black I think works well for a video theme. The content carousel is another great feature for the video theme.

I like it but I’m still waiting for the ideal Journalist theme to upgrade to from my current one.

Great looking theme and might be worth the expense. One question: does the theme require video stills in the slider area, or can these be static images from featured posts or pages?
LikeLike
Static images will absolutely work, Bob. Give the demo site a spin and you’ll see that static images are predominately used in the featured carousel. It’s only on individual Video format posts that videos are necessary.

I am absolutely in awe with your concept. It is a clean design but yet it has many facets to it. Make you think of all the things you can use this theme for. Good work and Great job, I like it. I am considering utilizing your design, one question – how hard (complicated) would it be to create one such as you have here for my videos or similar to yours?

Probably one of the best premium themes I’ve seen. I have no use for it now, but maybe in the future.

Am I right supposing all these themes here are only usable for WordPress.com users since I haven’t found a download option yet? But I adore this theme and would love to use it for my personal WordPress Site so I’d love to know if it’s possible to download this one?

You’re right, Alexa. This announced version of On Demand is only available for WordPress.com users, but a slightly different version of On Demand is available directly from Press75 for WordPress.org users. Keep in mind that the pricing and set of features in the .com version of On Demand and the .org version of On Demand will have a few differences, but not so many that your experience with the theme wouldn’t be nice either way.
