File:Mockup of Homeview with double activities circle for Start And SmallerResume.JPG

I think the two use cases (Resume vs Start a new) are either valuable for the home view thats supposed to be the main "workplace" of sugar interactions, so I suggest to try hard to design an option to have the two use cases directly graphically available on the screen real estate, one point could be that on average not so many different activity could be displayed in the favorites circle, allowing few options to show them in a "StartNew" or "Resume" graphic option: Uncolored icons outside circle, the "resuming" colored icons inside in an incomplete circle, and Journal icon in centre (down to XO) as to represent even better the idea of reflection and research. note: the inner circle "resuming "icons should be reasonably smaller that the outer ones becouse they do not need  support the usecase to be easily identifiable.
