Window Title Bar added
The main Gramps window contains the following elements:
 
===Window Title Bar===
*Window Title Bar shows the name of selected Family Tree, Gramps application name and buttons to minimize, maximize and close Gramps. The window can also be dragged from the Title Bar.
=== Menubar ===
== Switching Navigator modes ==
[[Image:Viewing_mode_selection.png|left|thumb|350px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Navigator mode drop-downselection]]
If there is more than one navigator mode installed, you can choose the navigator mode with the drop down.
{{-}}
[[Image:Expander.png|left|thumb|350px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Expander navigator mode]]
{{-}}
Note that in the Plugin Manager, Navigator modes are called Sidebar plugins, but this is inconsistent,because the {{man menu|View->Sidebar }} menu item removes the ''right-hand'' filter/gramplet sidebar, not the ''left-hand'' category sidebar.

'''MS Windows and Mac OS X'''
The MS Windows AIO installer and the Max OS X Application bundle come with certain modules built in. It is not possible for the normal user to add further modules. Therefore, if you find a module that you particularly feel should be included you should post on the Gramps [[Contact#Mailing_lists|mailing list ]] (probably the devel list) explaining why you feel its omission is a mistake.
* "WARNING: PIL module not loaded. "

==== Seeing all the error messages ====
Sometimes, not all the information needed to understand what has gone wrong will appear on the screen. For exmpleexample, if you start Gramps with an invalid language setting (and some missing components) then the message that appears in the Warning dialogue is:
[[Image:Warning_message_GExiv2.png|800px|thumb|left|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Dialogue showing limited warnings]]
