Gems are all sad & grey?!
I understand that double-clicking an activity is supposed to tell Slife what I'm working on. Isn't the idea that it would recognize this as I switch applications/documents/etc?
In any case, my activities sidebar is not behaving in the way I think it's supposed to - double-clicking on an activity name in the "Activities" view does nothing to change the gem status - instead, it brings up the "Activity Editor" window. The only "live" (read: not grey) gems are the ones that have goals associated with the activity - and even for those activities, double-clicking just brings up the editor window; it does nothing to change the "active status" of the activity.

I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?This is a typical case where we here at Slife Labs need to do more work to make the Slife UI more intuitive. It's our fault. Here's what's going on:
Slife is designed to track everything that you do automatically. This is where it stands out. For that, just leave it running and Slife will tracks apps, documents used, etc. You can create Activities in the Activities view and then specify how applications and documents map to those activities.
Now, there's one exception to this rule. If you want, you can also specifically tell Slife what you are doing. And for that, under Slife 2.0.1, you need to click on the Slife icon in the menu bar and check an activity. At that point, everything that you do will be associated with that 'marked' activity.
Notice that in 2.0.1 we removed the activity list from the side bar. We thought it was confusing, and decided to get it out of there. The activities view is used to configure activities and visualize them, not to activate and deactivate them.
We are working on some of these usability issues with Slife and hope to have some improvements soon. I hope this explanation clarifies things a bit. -
Inappropriate?It does, thanks!
