At the bottom the Plastic SCM full GUI there is a blue badge with a button "Email support" and some promotional text "Need help? We normally answer in less than 1 hour!" Although Plastic's support is indeed excellent and people should know about it, I believe such a message is much better implemented as a tip or notification that can be toggled off.

My team feels the badge draws a lot of attention with its bright blue color and wastes screen real estate since we know about how to contact support.

I believe it would make more sense to add such as message as a help/tip/owl and provide the option "do not show again". Also, maybe provide a "Support" button in the sidebar next to the other options, like: Preferences, Blog news, Support, About.
