Comment:

 There are two points here that require visual feedback:

 1.  When the user presses the mouse while over an activity icon (or any
 other object, button, etc. for that matter), a visual change should
 indicate that the item beneath the cursor is reacting to the press.  This
 isn't specified yet, but we will certainly have some form of visible
 depression via an offset of the icons position and/or a slight color
 change to indicate this.

 2.  Once the user has released the mouse button and the activity has "been
 launched," there is still a period of time before it becomes active and
 takes the screen.  Our current design specifies that on rollover an
 outline version of the icon should appear in the activity ring.  Once
 clicked, this outline should fill, and pulsate on a sin curve between gray
 and color until it becomes fully active, at which point it should remain
 in full color.

 Details on both of these will be spec'd later in the design process, but
 this should clear it up for now.
