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

[Mimi Yin]

Agreed that Delete is rare. Although, Creating New Collections is  
probably relatively rare as well. Either way, we need a visual  
element that stretches across the sidebar. Otherwise the Go-to-Date  
area will look messy.

We could center New on 1 button and then have a Remove button in the  
bottom left corner of the collection details dialog.
