[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Record UI

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Thanks Gary.
I think this design resolve the principal issue of my mockups, we can' t
identify easily what function is in use.
Perhaps, we can use a secondary toolbar to the less used options if
necessary (quality, or new features like effects...)
