Was i was trying to say was mainly that saying please implies that what is asked is more of a personal taste, and not an objective thing that really should be fixed.

If it's really something subjective I would say "This would be nicer if..." or "I think that could be changed to..." Instead of formulating some almost passive-aggressive request with "please".
