December last year, a Boss in the industry who's a developer called me on the challenges they were facing in changing some things in an app which they just got from Infoware Limited. The app was built with Microsoft .NET and has been compiled, hence, they didn't have access to the HTML but had to rely on CSS to solve their problem.

After several calls and emails to Infoware, they were told that in order to customise the app, they had to request the service separately. They were shown samples of customised app but it still looks like the default, just some color changes here and there. They requested that some copyright info at the footer be changed or removed and the correspondent at Infoware said "IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE COPYRIGHT INFORMATION BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED INTO IT".

On getting to his office at Victoria Island, I was shown the app and briefed on how far they've progressed. I logged onto the server and saved the pages of the app one after the other from my Web Browser. His company was working on a new website, so I decided to BLOW EVERYONE'S MIND by modelling the app after the old website. It was quite hectic but after about 9 hours of hardwork, I came up with something that I was comfortable with.

The pictures below shows the default app UI and also the Redesigned UI.

PS: The redesign you see here was achieved by tweaking just one CSS file.
