Color of sugar.activity.widgets.ActivityButton is owners all time despite of 'icon-color' metadata property

Should it be changes?

FWIW, yes. It should match what ever logic is used to set the ownership color as seen in the Journal. If I resume an orange and blue Write journal entry (created by another user), or click on an orange and blue Write icon in the Neighbourhood, the toolbar activity icon should be in orange and blue (not my own user colors).

Reiterating what Gary said: The colors of an activity should be considered its identity every bit as much as its title. It should be retained when moving it, sharing it, resuming it, sending it to others, and anywhere else it is represented within the UI.

Owner's colors should generally be applied only when a new activity is started; otherwise, the identity should be preserved.

Patch doesn't track changing of 'icon-color' property(if it exists), looks like its redundant, 'icon-color' is a color of creator.
