I added little arrow pointers to some of the labels so that they look  
like talk bubbles. I think they direct your eye without being  
distraction. I didn't do it for all of them because some of the  
labels are really just captions for the entire image.

I don't really expect people to understand everything in the  
screenshots, but I do think it will be good opportunity to get them  
acquainted with some of our terminology. The Get Started Guide is  
really where people should look for more explanation.
