A lot of the requests on this forum are superfluous (like background customization and facebook bindings), and will only serve to complicate the code of this important program.  Maybe you can charge people for that stuff, and otherwise keep it simple like it is.

There is just one thing I think it is missing:

An option to bias on/off to display certain parts of the tree.

it would really help to keep a complex tree sane to visualize, and to print out.

(Also, it probably should save to the local cookie and not to the tree itself, to avoid any possible social ramifications for it's use!)

Thanks for making this great geneology tool!

This would certainly be a useful function. However there is not yet anything quite like it yet. The best you can do is to decrease the number of parent/children/other generations to be shown, using the menus at the bottom of the screen.
