m
New exporter, help and bug report dialogs
== New Look and Feel ==
Gramps now uses GTK 3 to create the interface, so you need to set a GTK theme with the GTK theme switcher that supports GTK 3. If Gramps looks ugly after installation, this is because you use an old GTK Theme. Try out some GTK 3 themes to see which one gives you a beautifull Gramps experience. See [http://gramps-project.org/2012/08/status-gtk-3-for-gramps-4-0/ status GTK 3 for Gramps 4.0].
== Data Model ==
There are no changes to the data model. An .gramps xml file generated by Gramps 3.4 is identical to the one of Gramps 4.0
 
==Navigator modes==
 
[[Image:Viewing_mode_selection.png|left|thumb|300px|Category navigator mode]]
 
[[Image:Drop-Down.png|right|thumb|300px|Drop-Down navigator mode]]
 
[[Image:Expander.png|left|thumb|300px|Expander navigator mode]]
 
If there is more than one navigator mode installed, you can choose the navigator mode with the drop down.
The navigator modes are "Category", "Drop-Down" and "Expander".

In the Charts category (Previously called the Ancestry category), you will see two new core Charts: Fan Chart and Descendant Fan. These are two Charts that give you a good overview of a family tree. The Fan charts shows the principal parents of every individual. The Descendant Fan shows you all children, all their families, and then so on to see the ''entire'' descendant tree.
The Fan Charts are powerfull, use the '''{{man button|Configure''' }} button in the toolbar to investigate some posibilities:
* colored filtering via filter sidebar
* Gradient coloring to give extra information
* Print to output (pdf, printer) from the toolbar
