Mael,
The transitions patch has been committed, as well as the other 8 patches you sent me via email.  I really appreciate all the help! I agree with you that the "Effects" tab needs the same treatment with an IconView instead of TreeView.  

One more thing... I would love to add the search box and toggle buttons
to the "transitions tab" as well.  Not sure exactly what options would
work best on those toggle buttons, but definitely a search box would be
nice.  Probably the same for the "Project Files" tab.  Basically, the
idea is to help users more quickly find a "file", "transition", or
"effect".  I guess the trick is to not let the GUI get ugly and
cluttered with buttons and search boxes...

I suppose we can always have an option, "Enable Searching" (or something
similar), which would enable all the search boxes for users who really
need them.  Something to think about. =)

Title:
  UI redesign

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  In Progress

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)
