Comment (by Eben):

 I've attached an image containing mockups for several possible activity
 palette designs, with varying amounts of information.  The fixed aspect of
 the design is the primary rollover, which should contain the icon, the
 name (type) of the activity, and the title of the activity.

 It would be great to generate previews so that one could peek at a drawing
 they haven't worked on in a few minutes, or get a glimpse of the state of
 a game, etc.  I'm not sure we have this capability yet, though.  The
 screenshot wouldn't have to be live, but would need to be generated when
 the home screen is focused and some reasonable amount of time has passed
 since the last preview was created.  Alternately, if it could be done fast
 enough, you could generate upon rollover.

 The options in the menu should be "Resume", "Stop", and "Show in
 Neighborhood."  The latter may not come until later, but the idea would be
 to jump to the Neighborhood view and auto-filter so that only that
 activity and its participants are revealed.  We could also include "Share
 with" and/or "Invite" options, with submenus for selecting groups or
 buddies, respectively. Finally, when the "Stop" action is chosen, but the
 activity doesn't quit in a timely manner, this option should change to
 "Force Stop" or "Kill" or something similar, allowing a force quit.
