[Bug 648091] Re: UI redesign

 

I want to precise that the main part of the OpenshotUsers are some
amateurs and not professionals. And i know a lot of people who use it on
Netbooks and some of this people are experts in Video on Linux. It is
the reason for which Andy and Me have thought at this persons.

More and More interesting.

I have a question. I develop (and not only me ) severals features which
will be only access in a section of the menu.  How can you have an
access if the main menu have disappeared ? What do you thing about that
? Have you a solution ?

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)
