Flowblade 2.0
Flowblade 2.0 comes with the largest changes to workflow and UX since the very first releases.
Timeline editing workflow has been made much more configurable, new tools have been added and GUI comes with a new custom theme (for Gtk+ versions >= 3.22), new top row layout and modernized design language.
GUI updates
The release comes with quite a few updates and changes to the user interface to clean up and modernize the design.
- New Custom Theme was created and made the default theme for the application. It has become clear that video editors are the kind of applications that work best with a custom made dark theme, the generic dark themes are too light for current established look of video editors. Now that GTK3 has finally stabilized the theme CSS, creating and maintaining a custom theme is now possible.
- Earlier panel design with quite large buttons has been updated with a design employing more context and hamburger menus and by making almost all toplevel items icons.
- For systems with larger screen dimension the default top row layout has been changed to a 3 panel design instead of the earlier 2 panel design, earlier layout still being available via user preference item.
- Tooltips coverage was extended and almost all top level items now have individual tooltips.
- Insert and Move (earlier Ovewrite) tools have new cursors.
