I think it looks a lot nicer with the buttons touching the border.

Yup, I agree.
About Help Center in the Settings pages, basically remove the full-width background dirty hack :trollface: right? See below:

P.S. I'd also align the Help Center icon (?) with the ones below.

Making the Help Center responsive is a bit tricky, one of the reasons is the Help Center is used both in the settings pages and inside the meta box so the general page layout is different. The available width is different so there would be the need to use different breakpoints, making things a bit too complicated.

One small thing that could help would be reducing as much as possible the differences between the Help Center in the meta box and the one in the settings pages. TL;DR I'd need to remove the left and right 12 pixels padding in the meta box. It's a small change and also a design choice so asking feedback. /cc @moorscode @hedgefield

Wouldn't really mind to put the Help Center in the Settings page inside a container as well, to get the unified look.

This would also fit better in our material design approach.

Agreed, it looks good, and I second the idea of a margin/container for the settings page help center.

One more thing to consider is that on Premium, there's just one "textarea" box. I'd try to add a wrapper element around the two boxes to be able to switch them to flexbox, which should allow for more flexibility.

I've tested this on mobile together with @jcomack. On his mobile, the search button is placed on a newline. Also the distance between the input and button is pretty small.

On my mobile (maybe the resolution is different) both fields are displayed on a single line:

Maybe it's nice to give the input a width of 100% to make sure the button is one a newline.

Last commit tries to improve a bit the KB search field responsiveness using flexbox.
