Your Godot version:
Godot 4.3
Issue description:
Recently went through the "Your first 2D game" tutorial with someone trying a game engine for the first time and saw them routinely get stuck on the screenshots posted in the documentations. Unsure where to go, or where something was on their screen.

Specifically, when introducing a new tab (inspector, file browser, etc), it could help to widen the screenshot a bit so that people completely new to the engine and already overwhelmed would have more awareness of where everything is in relation to their screen.
It's a minor issue, but could help minimize initial frustration for those people trying a game engine for their first time.

URL to the documentation page (if already existing):
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/first_2d_game/01.project_setup.html
-for the "your project folder" introduction.

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/first_2d_game/02.player_scene.html
-for the "inspector" introduction.

I think the intention might have been that https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/introduction/first_look_at_the_editor.html is required reading before Your first 2D game? But it might be worth repeating the information about various editor UIs when they are introduced and actually used.
