In sidebar, show × on hover on label to remove the label
Description
For now to deal with a labels in sidebar is a pain, I propose the small fix that allow us to remove labels much faster and be more productive.
Proposal
We add a chip with an x icon (icn/close) that can be clicked to delete the label. The chip will change its style and show a background on hover and active states.
The shape of the chip will be a 16px x 16px circle. The icon inside should be 8px x 8px. The margin with the label name is 2px and the padding on the right side of the chip is 4px. Spec previous will be uploaded with all these measurements.
The target area of the chip will be a 16px x 16px square indepndently of its shape.
We currently underline the label's name when hovering. This underline should be removed when hovering over the chip.
