Jan, I really like your mock-ups although I don't like the timecode in
the preview window in your latest examples, it's making the preview
window even smaller than it already is.

Just a thought: maybe it's an idea to move the video controls to the
toolbar above the timeline. The zoomslider can go at a bottombar, wich
also can hold some more information of the project currently working on.
That way you have 3 main bars: at the top, in the middle an  at the
bottom (I don't know if it's possible or not, I'am not a programmer nor
a UI designer).

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)
