i would anyways put the delete icon top-right since matches the usual location 
of close buttons, so those 3 buttons would be more spaced anyways?

as for the configuration icon, i can put it either in the activity screen 
itself or in the thumbnail of the current activity (for a limitation it can't 
be positioned in others, that kinda makes sense since wouldn't be possible to 
see the changes immediately)

as the switching slider, all the action icons could be shown only for the one 
currently in foreground, hidden for the others

btw, in the activity overview switching would be done with the slider as well 
or just by clicking?
