Screenshot Example 2 -- Slightly Customized Screen Capture Settings

 
There were a few things about the default Screen Capturing Settings that I would like to change.  For example, I thought it made more sense to document the buttons of this small toolbar right in this screenshot instead of making it a subwindow (a subwindow would be appropriate for a toolbar containing a large number of buttons).  So I created my own set of custom Screen Capturing Settings and A) unchecked the checkbox in the Screen Capturing Settings that causes the toolbar to be "captured" as a subwindow, and B) modified the Naming Rules so that the name for each callout had each word starting with a capital letter.  See Customizing Some of Dr.Explain's Screen Capture Behaviors for more information on how to customize these settings.
 
The below is the result of the new screen capture with the above custom settings, exactly as Dr.Explain produced it, and before I "massaged" it to be in final form.  I like this screen capture result a little better since there is less I will need to edit.  In the next page, I have "massaged" the callouts and added a small amount of documentation for each callout.
