I think that's right.  The *'s mark the days you did the habit.  As I
understand it the meaning of the colors is as follows:

   BLUE: Done early (before the next repeat interval)
   GREEN: Done on time
   YELLOW: Will be late on the following day if not done on this date
   RED: overdue

So a daily repeating task will always have today in yellow (since it'll
be late (red) if you don't do it today.)  For a daily task any days
without a * are missed.

For habits that that can go a day or two (or longer) without requiring a
repeat the colors probably make more sense.

Regards,
Bernt
