Dashboard Right Now links hard to hit.

[janbrasna]

The hit-zone for the main «Right Now» links is too small (only the number itself). Ideally the whole area should be clickable (refer to ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27_law ...). The attachment demonstrates that.

However I see that the current markup doesn't allow for an easy change to accommodate a bigger hit-zone. Yet, opening a ticket with the hope to find a solution to resolve the issue.

Punting to 2.8

I agree that this should be changed.. Would make it much easier to click.

Changed the text to link to the same destination as the number link. I made it so Approved, Pending, Spam links would stay their respective colors, but I was a little torn on the other items (Posts, Pages, etc). This patch allows them to take on the typical color of a link on the dashboard instead of being gray as they were before. This seems to make sense to me, but I could go either way with it if someone wants to weigh in differently.
