Note that both delete button and recipient type selector are visually de-emphasized when recipient input has focus:
- X and dropdown arrow more slim and lighter color
- dropdown box background color same as recipient area background color, i.e. only the border makes it stand out.

When hovering the delete button, the X buttonizes as it does now, and the recipient type selector should be shown but de-emphasized as in Screenshot 1, attachment 9041093 [details].
