I'm late like always!!!!

First impression i was disappointed by this mockup .After, i found it modern and professional but like Andy, it is not everybody who use some "big  " screens and  a lot of people use it in a netbook. And i m not sure that  everybody/every-user will like it.
Jonathan have launched an interesting idea i.e le fact to have the both : a Ui near of what we have actually, more modern and the possibility to expand for the experts users.

A new theme will be a good thing and why not a poll for having the
opinion of our community.  good idea.

On another side, i think there is a lot of things to do/include before
this like the Audio who is your weakness.

Beautiful second mockup who being worth thinking about.

We have the time, remember you that Openshot is a young project (only
two years ago).

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)
