Screenshots: Clearest way to indicate button/link/tab to click?

["Jennifer C. Bennett" <fritillary -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello all,

In a screenshot, which is the clearest way to indicate a link/button/tab to
click:

*  A circle around the item to click (what color?  I've seen this done where
the circle is shaded and there is a shadow beneath it - how is this
accomplished?)
*  A rectangle around the item to click (what color?)
*  Highlighting the item to click in a yellow square (or circle?)
*  Placing a "hand" icon near the item to click (what color should it be?
Standard white or another color to draw the eye?        Should it be
oversized in a screenshot that has been resized to a smaller size in order
to fit on the page?)

Perhaps a combination of these (used consistently)?

Or any other ideas I've missed?

Thanks!

Jennifer
