Thanks for the pointer, xalign might certainly get useful. As we only show (filled or non-filled) stars, i.e. always the same width, we don't need it yet. It would require changes to sugar.graphics.ComboBox.I don't think you'll need a custom widget. Just setup the model correctly and it should all work. Check out this thread. It has some pointers on how to make things work correctly, and some source code is included at the bottom of the 3rd reply, I think: http://www.mail-archive.com/py...@daa.com.au/msg09625.html

I poked around a bit and found uses of sugar.graphics.Icon that might be what I need. Also erikos pointed out I can use hippo.CanvasWidget instead of a custom wrapper. But it still seems I need to either use gtk.ComboBox directly or extend sugar.graphics.ComboBox as the latter one only allows for icon names, not Icon/pixmap instances to be passed. Unless there is an icon file (name) that contains a filled/colored version of the star, that is (I haven't found one).You don't need a CanvasIcon to colorize, I don't think. We support colorizing icons in menus, which behave similarly to comboboxes I'd think. Anyway, colored would be preferred.
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that you want the stars only in the "opened" ComboBox, but not the "closed" one? I.e. [1] not showing the star, but [2] showing it? Apart from doing my own version of gtk.ComboBox, it might be possible to emulate that style using callbacks by (de)activating the icon column upon popup/popdown.Also (Again wishing I had the mockup), I don't think the star should be shown in the combobox itself. It's redundant info, as the star will always appear to the left of the activity icon. Instead, the star is useful only within the menu itself, where it serves as adde context in leu of a full display of the entry. I'm not sure if that's possible, though...it would be great if it is, because the star in the closed combobox is unwanted, I think.
