Description Unknown 2016-03-31 18:26:54 UTC 
With the new logo that Farid made, I thought it would be a nice benefit to associate the new logo with the program. I made some mock-ups of the program with the cursor in the timeline changed to the color to match the logo. It seems to look pretty well, IMHO:

Reproducible: Always




Suggested using Kdenlive 16.07.70 git master build from the kdenlive-master ppa for Ubuntu; Ubuntu 16.04 beta x64.

After getting some feedback from the mailing list, I admit, the orange color for the new logo does look a little faded on both color themes. But perhaps a more vibrant tint would work?

Again, it's just a design opinion. I thought a few accent coloring to the more unique functions, like the timeline cursor, would be a nice artistic gesture :). (and I do mean few accents -- too much, as discussed in earlier bugs, wouldn't work on a functional level. It'd be too much.)

The community showed little interest in this proposal. Closing bug.
