 * I mentioned these items in a review I just left (which I would be happy to change
   from 4 to 5 stars if these get resolved).
 * I really like this plugin, but there are four things about how it presents itself
   in the Block Editor that really bother me. Two are minor and two are major.
 * The minor ones are general aesthetics: there is no good reason why interface 
   elements in the Image Compare block sidebar shouldn’t look exactly like elements
   in core blocks. It’s bad UI to change these things. So it would be great to see
   the header text reduced to the standard size, and to ditch the purple on all 
   of the controls. Just make them standard, please!
 * The major issues are almost enough to make me not want to use this plugin on 
   my clients’ sites, although I still will, because it mostly works very well! 
   Here are the two things I desperately want to see changed:
 * 1. Lose the giant purple box begging for a review. Or at least have the Help 
   panel closed by default. I think this plugin could benefit from having a general
   settings page to set defaults… that would be a fine place to put a review blurb,
   but _not_ in the Block Editor sidebar, where users need to go to get work done
   and space is already at a premium.
 * 2. Use the color palette and typography from the theme’s `theme.json` file, if
   it’s a block theme. As a designer/developer, I’ve made very careful decisions
   about the colors and fonts I make available in the editor. It’s _so_ important
   for maintaining branding, especially if the people editing the content are not
   super savvy about brand style guides. Having a full-spectrum color picker and
   a giant list of random Google fonts at their disposal in the Image Compare block
   is a disaster for consistency. (And, even for someone who _is_ savvy, it makes
   it a major pain to get the colors right.)
