 The Help tab is tremendously useful. The effort in #21583 to revamp it is
 incredibly impressive, and I hope it gets revisited. Still, the Help tab
 has much better insight to many parts of WordPress than is available on
 the visible screen, yet it's easy to ignore.

 I'd like to propose that we change it to the active admin panel accent
 color for the background. I tested it with the built in color schemes and
 it contrasts nicely across the board. Here's a screenshot of the Help tab
 open and closed with the default color scheme:

 This is not visually consistent with dashboard widget toggles, screen
 options, and other areas. ''That is a good thing'', I believe. Help should
 be easy to find. Maybe not as easy as Clippy, but easier than it is right
 now.
