First of all, i still don't get it, how you can do video editing on a
netbook, but, that's none of my business ;)

I updated the mockups to get something that all of you is fine with!

 It seems that we need to have two different interfaces:
One for big screens, where you can have all thinks open, like the first mockup and one for small screens, like the second. I updated both and added a "tab" button beside the effects and transitions buttons to go back to the roots and show the tabs.

So now you have the choice what you want to see. In my opinion the
unused space on the right side of the menubar is a good place for those
three buttons.

Furthermore I added a timecode to the preview video and cut off the
rounded borders for the clips in the timeline like suggest by benjy.a

So here they are:

First mockup (change in video and timeline like mentioned above, added tab button):

Second mockup (shows tabs,change in video and timeline like mentioned above, added tab button)

What do you think?

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)
