Ah, Marco, what I am still thinking about is the positioning of your 
"change wallpaper" icon. I actually like the feature, that the user can 
change the wallpaper after creating the activity and also the appearing 
overlay for choosing another image looks nice. Currently in my layouts 
every activity thumnail in the switcher has the following icons: 
"delete" and "duplicate". We could consider another "configuration icon" 
like you use currently in the Contour development and open a view where 
the user can edit the name of the activity and the wallpaper image. I 
think these are the only two functions that are not covered by our 
normal activity screen, where the user can add, edit and remove the 
resources... what do you think?

In the Activity Overview Screen there is enough space for 3 icons, in 
the wheely switcher it might get crowded; we have to check that first...
