Hi Ramon, many thanks for your feedback an for your nice suggestion! Having more distinctive image captions is for sure something worth considering. I personally like the idea of having them typeset in a slightly smaller font and with boldface label. Additional margin seems reasonable as well. I'm not sure about changing the label separator, though.
If there are no objections I would be happy to incorporate this into BiocStyle.
