Cosmic Dusk Theme (preview)
One of the mostexciting changes in OpenShot 3.2 is our new Cosmic Dusk theme (shown below). This theme is currently included as a "preview" to collect feedback and share our progress. We have invested a huge amount of time into this UI design and work-flow, but still have much work remaining. You can switch to this theme in the Preferences to give it a try! You will notice new toolbars, new icons, a more compressed andefficient timeline design, relocated undo/redo buttons closer to the timeline, and a host of new things to discover.
Remove That Gap!
Now you can right click on any gap between clips, and select Remove Gap. This is a huge time saver, as you can do this with a single click. All clips to the right will shift over by the amount of the gap. You can also right click on the Track, and select Remove All Gaps. Previous versions of OpenShot required users to manually select all clips to the right, and drag/snap them to the left, which is slow, and prone to inaccuracies.
