Small UX improvements for the Frio theme
I like the Frio theme, but some things are not convenient for me, especially on mobile, so I decided to suggest some improvements. That's the beauty of open-source! I hope I didn't mess anything up and you'll like the changes :)

in reply to Jeremy [Friendica] • •However, there are some exceptions, such as when leaving the current tab would result in the loss of the user's work, e.g. form content not submitted/lost.
There are also "marketing" reasons, where leaving the site will interrupt your analytics session.
Anyway, to the point. You are asking about specific "link to source" link, represented by the icon with an outward arrow. It may suggest opening in a new tab, which is not the case. It can be confusing for the user who expects new tab based on the icon appearance (it can lead to abandoning "in progress" task). So in this specific case, I think it would be justified to add `target="_blank"`.

in reply to Damian Wajer • • •One area I always was wondering why I have to do the mouse sport thing to click into a tiny circle instead of just being able to click on the section / info text to pick an option was the contact request dialog (the one you see when others request to follow you). I think that was not part of your PR. Would you be willing to extend clickable areas for that?

in reply to Wilhelm • •As for the contact request dialog, it was not part of my PR, because my account automatically approves contact requests, and I wasn't aware of that dialog. I will look at it, but I can't make promises. Could you please provide a screenshot of what exactly you mean? It will help me find it and make an improvement. The best place to put it would be a new issue on GitHub: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues
@Hypolite Petovan Do you know if there is an easy way to trigger that view without having the second account for testing purposes? I have one, but it seems like once we were friends, it won't show up again. You can also point me to the right `.tpl` file, maybe that will be enough.

in reply to Damian Wajer • • •Also my condolences for the attention you attracted with your first PR. Friendica doesn't have a resident frontend contributor, so you're like the messiah.
