Description

Following patch add new theme to cinelerra, all patch not change any criticals parts, are very safe to use. I have moved suv to oldsuvtheme must and so you need to use -E option to patch.

1 plugins_and_guicast_icons_for_new_suv.patch changes plugins icons and few other icons to fit tangodesktop-guide-line.

2 newsuv.patch move suv to oldsuvtheme and add newsuv theme, in this way if user want can use old suv theme instead new suv by select it on preferences.  http://www.tuttoainternet.it/sites/default/files/newsuv.patch_.lzma

Both patch are hing tested on cinecutie. In order to have smallest size I compressed all patch with lzma ( I know that is not popular as gunzip ), to unpack use lzma -d patch.lzma

Thanks for adding a ticket for your theme-patches.
For 2.2. we would like to focus on productivity, so I change the milestone to "on the cake".

Furthermore I do not see why we have to rename SUV to oldsuv?

Even though I like the idea of improving Cinelerra's themes I wonder whether your themes are suitable for long (4-8h) and regular (30h/week) editing sessions.

My personal impression is that they are quite overloaded with "blingbling" (do we really need a border around buttons and a shaded background in them?) and unnecessarily distracting from the content (e.g. the Stop-Button really, really should not be red, as it does not cause any danger).

However I basically like the idea of using a padlock as "arm"-symbol. Maybe one could combine this idea with an improved color concept:
a gray, closed padlock for unarmed state and a red, opened padlock for armed state. This way one does not have to focus on the track header but can derive the status of the arm button already from it's color.

If you want to provide and improve your patches in a personal git repo we can create one on git.cinelerra.org for you if you wish.
