To reduce visual clutter on the "About Screen" - using Windows PC

Be able to customize screen layout by either a simple 'X' in corner or drop down to" remove" a box area

Being able to, remove, time line, name meaning, etc would be more visually pleasing


Allow this area to list more children, people had big families back in time

You would then not have to click more, unless the family was very big

Then when you print out this page the info would be there and not see printed click more etc

there is plenty screen real estate there to do this in this column area


Allow the screen to show more "siblings", instead of having to click more and bring up another screen,

This way if you print this page out, it will show all details and not just limited details.

    My solution? Ignore the existence of the fluff page.

    You must be referring to the About page:

    The About page is supposed to be just a summary page. To really look at and evaluate information you should just go to the Details tab. There you are always shown all the siblings and all the children of a person along with all that person's other spouses and sets of parents.

    Interesting that you should request that more be put on the About page at the same time you are requesting a way to get all the clutter off of this page (https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/142089/about-screen-reduce-clutter#latest) if you were "Being able to, remove, time line, name meaning, etc would be more visually pleasing" as you requested in your other post, you will basically end up with the Detail page. So you probably actually want to just stick to the Details tab.
