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?

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) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
