Nice work on the theme and UI, looks great!

I also made a mock-up, just to see how it would look with a bottom bar.
As you can see I moved the zoom slider there and it can hold some other
usefull information. To compensate the loss of vertical space with the
use of a bottom bar, I moved the play-buttons to the edit toolbar. Or,
if you can't move the play-buttons, it can be an option in the View menu
(Bottom bar on/off). What do you think?

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)
