[Bug 648091] Re: UI redesign

 

I was not very hot for this (and i am not always very hot because i am thinking that there is a lot of things to do before this, specially the audio who is our weakness) but the vision/work of Jan Hofmann is very interesting. And i must same said that ..................like it. It provides us a feel of modern and same a bit professional. And i like specially the preview who is in the middle of the first part. 
For the second, she,it is simple i don't like it. But i like the idea of the toolbar who is on the left for us at right at the "Jashaka". It can provides us the average to add some additional features who can modified a part of the appearance.

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)
