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.
