Activities: Checklist
This is a Moodle activity module for Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0+ that allows a teacher to create a checklist / todo list / task list for their students to work through. The teacher can monitor all the students' progress, as they tick off each of the items in the list. Items can be indented and marked as optional. Students are presented with a simple bar showing how far they have progressed through the required/optional items and can add their own, private, items to the list.
Features include:
- Choose whether students or teachers can check-off items
- Students can add their own notes to their checklist
- Dates can be added to items (and exported to the calendar)
- Teachers can comment on an individual student's items
- Progress is exported to the gradebook
- Choice of colours for each checklist item
- Heading items (without checkboxes)
- (Optional) Import list of current course activities and automatically check-off as activities completed
There are two other plugins that further enhance this activity:

Yes - in your theme, override the styling for: .checklist_progress_inner and .checklist_progress_anim
You'll need to change the background-image to point at a different image, for completeness you should also change background-color (although that will only show if the image loads slowly).

Nevertheless, as already stated, I will make sure that I increase the version number on the next release (which will happen in the next week or so, with the release of 3.10), to avoid such edge cases in the future.
The student items are designed to be a form of private notes for each student (so they can keep track of any extra things they need to do in order to complete the main item).
It would not be impossible to change this, but would require changes to the code (an extra setting, which would need adding to the instance form, the database and the backup & restore; a check against the setting to output the information onto the teacher view; a warning message for students, that their custom items can be seen by their teacher).
I'd be happy to accept a well-written code patch that implemented those features (along with automated tests to confirm everything works as expected).
Alternatively, it would have to go on the long list of changes that I might make someday, when I have a spare evening to do so.
I'm afraid I can't really give you a clear answer to that off the top of my head, as I'm not aware of that being a common problem for people using the checklist (as far as I'm aware, it generally just works as expected).
I suggest you make sure that the checklist is set to update as 'student only' and that you are logged in as a student. Make sure also that you are using checklist items you have manually created, not ones imported from the list of activities in the course.
No, there is currently no way to set items created automatically this way to be automatically hidden.
