Add help link to header.

Ramya Authappan requested to merge github/fork/booktree/help-every-page into master

Created by: cirosantilli

  • people may need help from any page
  • it is not obvious that help is under Dashboard:
    • when I first used GitLab, I clearly remember spending some time looking for the help.
    • the help URL is just /help, and not /dashboard/projects or /dasboard/issues, indicating that in the mind of the community, Help is not a part of /dashboard
  • GitHub does it, so its probably a good design choice and GitHub users will be home

Hover still perceptibly changes link color on dark theme. On white theme, like before this PR link color is unchanged on hover.

Details

  • made help bold and clear on the dark theme to make it more visible and coherent with the icons on the right
  • made header-font used in the .title "Diaspora / Diaspora Title" a bit larger or else help would be more visible than it

Questions

If you like this, how about also adding a Blog link on another PR? Very important stuff, and GitHub puts it up there.
