<div dir="ltr">I worked on it for a little longer trying to make the star icons checkable, but there are lots of issues in doing so. In the end I think that it is very hard to implement and pretty worthless. Maybe a summary as a tooltip in the traditional design would be good, I'll try. Anyway, I really think the ticket is sort of fixed now; we now have check boxes in the journal. Also if you would like to see a bigger fix you can check out the sentence/expander view and the thumbnail view for the journal.

There are some really funny errors that are caused when you run this :)</div>

Hi,<div>
<br></div>I was looking at bug #806 (<a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/806" target="_blank">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/806</a>), "Activities list view is very similar to Journal view and users delete activities instead of journal entries".<div>
<div>
<span><br></span></div><div><span>I was thinking we could fix this issue by adopting an icon view for the activities list. It sort of looks a little tablety, which is good considering some of the sugar deployments are almost tablets (XO-4). Here is a prototype:</span></div>

Using the time since the activity was last used is a more useful information, and avoids the odd issue. I'm not sure about the need to change the top right corner icon.. this still looks like a list. But maybe a more specific icon could be an enhaccement.</div>
