German term
"Merk"-würdig-Macher
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Computers: Software
Ich hoffe, einige "kreative Denker" ansprechen zu können:
Es geht um ein Softwaretool für Verhandlungstechniken
Eine Folie trägt den Titel: Die ABC (Name der Software)-Hand als "Merk"-würdig-Macher
Darunter sind verschiedene Abbildungen von Handzeichen mit Text daneben, wie z. B.
Deine Gefühle und Interessen?
Meine Interessen und Gefühle?
Stoppen, drücken, wehrhaft sein
Benutzen Sie den "Rettungsring"
Sie sind in jeder Phase grundsätzlich für Kooperation zu haben

"Merk"-würdig-Macher
trait wizard
this is simply a suggestions - I'm thinking the "macher" is some kind of tool - so a "wizard" might do well here. And trait in terms of character traits....
I was trying to work something in with re-"mark"-able, but didn't get far without a suitable noun.
Not sure about the "noticeable" ...
Just some ideas...

German term (edited):
Hand-"Merk"-würdig-Macher
Hand to "flag" as noteworthy
A literal translation would be: 'note'-worthy-maker", and Andrew's "attention grabber" is certainly a synonym.
My answer reflects a related meaning of "Merker" (= "flag" in software engineering). Just an off-the-wall alternative idea!

: Off the wall? I think not. How about the pop(-)up hand flag? Added: Context makes me wonder whether it shows as a mouseover popup. http://forum.mamboserver.com/archive/index.php/t-53679.html. Christine?

Is it really a "pop-up" in the computer SW sense? Or is it just a symbol inserted in the text (by user or program)?

I don´t believe that they are pop-ups, but rather pictures of different gestures next to the text
