@clay - I think the only reason we don't currently switch between
play/pause icons is due to redrawing issues, there's already a bug
logged for that so I'm sure we'll try again soon.

Bug description:
Hi,

I think we should made a ui redesign for the next openshot major version (aka 1.3), so i asked Jan Hofmann, a german ui designer known for his evolution and rhythmbox elementary mockup to make us a mockup.

So here it is : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/155356/openshot.jpg

I found it very simple and beautiful, with a good use of the available space. Feel free to commant about it. (keep in mind that's just a first try, all suggestion are welcome)

We should also decide if this ui redesign, when approved, will be based on the upcoming gtk3 release (with openshot using pygobject, GtkApplication, gtk3, ...) or on the old legacy gtk2.

A new defaut theme has to be made (request by a lot of users), has to be more gnome friendly (so basically we should have at least 2 icons themes, one defaut higncolor theme and one for ubuntu, other distrib will follow)  and fit with freedesktop recommendation (install icons system wide, ...).

This bug can be used to discuss all these suggestions.

Thanks. (and sorry for my english)
