I don't think it will have any bearing on the PDF.
Okay, I've made some more changes, and hopefully they're a bit more logical now.
blue boxes - definitions
grey boxes - examples, output etc
red boxes - warnings, cautions
yellow boxes - notes
The yellow and red ones don't often occur, and the reason why I keep
providing screenshots of the same page is because it's the only page
in the documentation which contains one of each type of element.
So here's the updated one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dark_ixion/4935126375/sizes/o/
Unfortunately the tool I'm using to grab the whole page screenshot
uses jpeg compression, but saves as PNG, which I then reduce the
palette on to shrink the file size, so the colours are a bit off and
the text looks a bit fuzzy.
Are the boxes really that distracting? How about if I remove the
border and just have a light background? The problem with relying on
font difference is that it's not the same on every platform, hence why
this all started.
