Comment (by dcf):

 Here is a new patch that adds numbered steps and centers the graphics.

 > This is likely a helpful improvement. But I have some comments:
 > 1. We need to make this more clear that these steps are ordered left-to-
 right. The Mendeley example clearly ordered the steps with numbered text
 above the graphics. We should probably do that too.
 > 2. If we do make this left-to-right, will it confuse Arabic and other
 RTL users? Can those localizations of the website reverse this order? (Do
 we even have any localizations of the website in RTL? the language
 dropdown doesn't seem to work for me)

 The web site is not localized at all, as far as I understand. For that
 reason I didn't worry about RTL. The language dropdown is not for the page
 language, it's for the bundle language.

 > 3. I think we should vertically center the images, if possible. The
 screenshot looks janky and disorienting with lots of unaligned buttons,
 links, graphics, and widgets all strewn about.
 > 4. The text "This package requires no installation. Just extract it and
 run" is no longer correct. Perhaps this text is why we saw some users
 trying to run the App directly from the DMG? We should remove this text.

 I agree we should remove that text if it's misleading. I'll bet few people
 even notice it, though. One of the UX sprint participants even said
 something like, "Here's a big obvious button, there's a whole bunch of
 small text that I'm not going to pay attention to."

 > 5. We should probably also remove "Read the release announcements!"
 string.

 I think that's outside the scope of this ticket. That string was added in
 a recent commit (3 days ago).
