1. The star in front of each gerrit record can only be highlighted to yellow. If it supports more colors(red, green, blue, cyan, etc), then the star can be used to group gerrit changes(which belong to the same function/feature)

2. Is the ID column useful? How about display the gerrit change number(e.g 99508) in side it?

I think ID column could be just removed, and change number is not of much use too.

https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/41313 removes the ID column.

As far as the star being different colors for grouping, this is a much harder change. The star update protocol between the browser and the server only supports a boolean value (starred or not-starred). The database only stores a boolean value. There is no concept of color.

To track the request to support different colors for the star icon, I'v created a new issue [1].
