Great!!! Thanks!!!

That depends on the example...

I just tried to fit the examples nicely in the images and
use a uniform size for sequences of screenshots.

The default import at shrinking factor = 4.

I could not solve this issue in a satisfactory way either.
All icons are in misc/pixmaps.

Yes. Nevertheless, text is more urgent than the images.
People can easily imagine changes in the image,
but they can't invent the text ;^)

Just send me a tarball.

Great, yes.

We did not implement balloon help for menu items yet,

Maybe another idea for the future...

Too late!!!

But I'll leave you to your exams next time...
