distinguishable tickbar #48

On lengthy movies, it is hard to point an exact brief position, before subsequent click on zoom auto button.

Some apps use different style on tickbar to mark every 1 hour, or 1/2 hour, or 1/4 hour. There are combinations in use: color, length, and width. The simplest form uses different color for regular ticks and common time fractions as above. More stylist app uses 3 different color to distinguish: regular, 1/4, and 1 hour. It also can be applied to tick length and width.

A note on tick length: regular tick can be a form of dot, not bar, so it does not consume too much space.

It is also make sense to combine the three to achieve distinguishable tickbar.

Timeline has been reworked in version 0.20. It should be much more readable now. Includes also indication of key frames (as alternate light/dark rectangles).
