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.

On further reflection, it seems to me that something like deletion might better be hidden in the collection details dialog. This is an approach similar to Google Reader, where deletion is hidden in a special "feed management" dialog. Deletion seems to me like something that is infrequently desired, and giving it the same amount of real estate as create feels wrong.

-0 on buttons, I think they look too heavy. If other folks like that look, however, we can go for it. For a first pass I'm inclined to skip collection deletion and implement this as a text link.

Thoughts?

Here's a quick mock-up

Travis, can we re-use the button backgrounds we use elsewhere?

Ideally, the buttons would line up with the width of the mini-cal horizontal divider lines.

They vertical gap between the buttons and the Go-to-date widget should be the same as the vertical gap between the Go-to-date widget and the mini-cal navigation bar.

It would also be nice if we could get rid of the left and right borders for the mini-cal navigation buttons. Otherwise, the sidebar starts to feel overly compartmentalized.
