@Friendica Support Friendica currently comes with two themes: frio and vier with frio being the default.
The theme selection does not indicate that. What are others thinking? Would it make sense to add a default tag to frio so that fact is communicated to users?
github.com/friendica/friendicaโฆ
add "(default)" to Settings > Display > General Theme Settins > Display Theme: to frio listing ยท Issue #12481 ยท friendica/friendica
The theme selection dropdown Currently * frio * vier Expected * frio (default) * vier frio is the default. That fact should be communicated to users.GitHub
@Tobias Had you tried the new frio v1.0? What were your thoughts?
Clearly themes are a question of personal taste and arguing about them is very difficult. I really don't want to get into an opinion war about personal preferences as that will lead nowhere. But if tobias or other vier users could share, what aspects they prefer about vier over frio, maybe there is something to learn / takeaway / improve about frio.
I want to also add 2 cents about UI changes which affect us all and how many (me included) perceive them: e.g. it's so funny with the changes in macOS. When they first hit you, they sometimes look ridiculous. And next it's fascinating how quickly I get used to altered UI and my brain accepts the change as nice and normal after 14 days of usage and getting used to.

In Donald Trumpโs 2011 book Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, the president-to-be made an astonishing claim: Lady Gaga likely owed her international fame to none other thanโฆDonald Trump. โShe became a big star and maybe she became a star because I put her on the Miss Universe pageant,โ he wrote. โItโs very possible, who knows what would have happened without it, because she caused a sensation.โ
The problem goes beyond Trump, of course. Women, especially women of color, are routinely denied credit for their ideas, creativity, genius, and success (not to mention theyโre paid less than men for full-time work). So, in honor of Womenโs History Month, Iโve put together this woefully incomplete timeline of the lowlights:

Splashdown!
After 12 days and 14 hours in space, the #Apollo17 astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at 2:25 pm EST #OTD in 1972. It was the longest of all the Apollo missions with the most samples retrieved and photos taken. #Apollo50th
#NASAhistory
When #Apollo17 splashed down in the Pacific, a recovery team was waiting on the USS Ticonderoga just 6.4 km (4 mi) away to pick up the astronauts and the lunar samples inside the CM.
