Fri 02 Jan 2026 07:12:41 PM EST: Implement comprehensive UI redesign for Convert module

🎨 Major Convert Module Redesign:
• Navy blue Format section with 30/70 layout and rounded corners
• Two-tone Simple/Advanced buttons with dynamic colour changes
• Proper color-coded Format dropdown with navy indicators
• Dark background containers with consistent spacing
• Responsive design matching mockup specifications

📊 Technical Implementation:
• Replaced existing Format UI with card-based layout system
• Implemented 30/70 split design for better space utilization
• Added dynamic button colouring based on selection state
• Used container.NewBorder with navy rectangles for rounded corners
• Maintained backward compatibility with existing state management

🎯 Design Philosophy:
• Professional dark theme with navy blue (#1E3A8F) accents
• Clear visual hierarchy with proper sectioning
• Consistent 12pt/16pt text sizing throughout
• Rounded corners and soft edges for modern appearance
• Color-coded visual feedback for better UX

📊 Impact: Enhanced user experience with professional, responsive UI that matches
           contemporary video editing application design standards.
