GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 585735
[patch] Use different colors for video and audio clips

Pitivi's visual integration would improve if it used tango colours and system icons in its timeline. In the attached mockup, you can see how the timeline uses the colour palette in http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines and the same icon nautilus uses while generating thumbnails.

I agree here, I did the current "loading" icon just to temporarily replace the very ugly one that was there before :) if it is possible to load icons from the gnome icon theme, that should be used instead. As for the colors, I would like to piggyback on this bug report and request the following default colors (from the Tango palette): - Audio clips = #4E9A06 - Video clips = #3464A4
I only want to point out that in the mockup I used a gradient for the timeline, which you might or might not want to do.
Created attachment 149878 [details] [review] proposed fix Here's a small patch for it. Tangoish green color for audio clips, and black for video clips. The reason I chose black over blue is that it looks much sleeker with the thumbnails (gives more of a filmstrip look, and more neutral).
The icons are gone (it seems) in the dev version, but setting the target milestone since there's a trivial patch provided that I'd like reviewed.
I like the new colors so I committed this. commit c46b874ea439ec99e6f8154768a6c2cb86d135b0 Author: Jean-François Fortin Tam <nekohayo@gmail.com> Date: Sun Mar 7 12:08:27 2010 +0100 Change the default timeline colors to black (video) and green (audio).
