Help with the user Submenu

Hello Coding Masters,

I've added a few items to the easysocial toolbar submenu and I can't seem to be able to get the pill (active effect) going on the menu items I added.

I know this is a customization job, and I wouldn't like to overstep what is allowed in the forums but, could you please give me some guidance... with a few hints I should be able to do it myself.

I'm editing: com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

I've included a screenshot.

Thank you very much.
