Yellow day - Keep a few hours to..., Chris Blatnick, Chris Toohey, Nathan Freeman, Tony Palmer ...

For the Yellow Day, it's time to get involved!!! I'm not much a graphist but when I'm ask to "modernize" a Notes application, I try to keep a few hours to revamp the UI based on those posts. It's a quick win!! It's easy to get rid of those 1990 UI, 16 colors interfaces.

Take a few minutes, it will worth it!

Interface matters from Chris Blatnick
