I would suggest moving the top two toolbars.  I noticed that Jan's
layout only has one row dedicated to this.  Is this an option?  I would
place the toolbars vertically at the left hand edge or maybe place the
buttons just above the timeline, with the rest.  I spend my time at the
timeline and find it time consuming to have to keep bouncing up to the
top toolbar to save, make a title, or export the video.  It's different,
but if I could lay mine out, I would do it like that.

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)
