Yes, I've done screenshots with callouts before. For some reason, I'm having a hard time figuring out a good way to do callouts for this. I think it's because it's hard to simultaneously call out what's wrong in the current UI AND represent how it should look in the ideal UI. But I will try to cobble something together and maybe with feedback from the developers, we can iterate towards a better system.

Thanks Alec, Mimi

Hey Mimi,
So in looking through http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Chandler/ZeroPointSixCleanup I saw a lot of things mentioning that this or that margin should be this big, and so forth.. one thing that I think would be incredibly useful is a set of screenshots (at least one per platform) with just the polish stuff pointed out with all those neat red arrows...

As a developer I think it can be hard to make sure you're getting all the details, and making sure those details look as expected on each platform.

For instance, I might fix a border on windows and then fire it up on the mac... as a windows developer, it might look "good enough" for the mac, but I don't know if its exactly what you're trying to achieve...
