[Design] Re: [Cosmo] Add/Remove Collections buttons

[Matthew Eernisse]

Not to muddy the waters, but just a couple of quick items:

1. The topic of a context menu (like in the Desktop) for the Collection 
Selector (and the lozenges) was a very hot topic during the FLOSS 
Usability Sprint. It's less discoverable than a big button, but might 
work well for the Remove/Rename options, and would be pretty trivial to 
implement.

2. With the fixed height of the Selector, and lack of any bounding box, 
I don't know if it's entirely clear what would be created or removed. 
The buttons are pretty far away from the collection names, and there's 
nothing to link them visually. This would be a lot less of a problem 
once we have a prominent vertical resizer bar under the selector 
(presumably below the button(s)).

Just my two pesos. :)
