Idea for Person's home page
Information on the FAMILY MEMBERS box on a person's home page is very confusing. the information all blends in together.
Most things on the old version of the persons homepage were well defined in boxes, the new person page is frustrating to look at. The new format does have distinct boarders around the boxes for VITALS, FAMILY MEMBERS, OTHER INFORMATION and etc. That is very helpful.
The FAMILY MEMBERS box is a nightmare to look at. Everything blends together. The box around the husband, wife and marriage date is too light. The same problem exists for the children in the family. Please darken the box around the husband, wife & marriage date and darken the box around the names of the children in the family. That would be a tremendous improvement. It would make the information on the page much easier to read.
The marriage Date for the husband and wife would be easier to see if you put it back between the names of the husband and wife. It gets lost where it is now.
If these changes were made, the FAMILY MEMBERS box would be less confusing.
The names in the SEARCH RECORDS box would be easier to use and would break up the monotony of the page if they were enlarged similar to the old version.

These kinds of specific suggestions are exactly the sort of thing that the developers have requested, but they will be more likely to see them if you join and post in the New Person Page group.
Regarding the placement of the marriage data, the argument for the current arrangement is that it groups the couple together and separates them from their children, instead of separating the couple.
There have been several iterations of changes on the appearance of the boxes in the Family Members section, in response to feedback. I find them easy enough to parse (although I'd prefer if the portraits could be turned off), but perhaps you could suggest that the new High Contrast Mode also darken the background gray in that section? (There's a thread asking for opinions on the mode.)
