Extend color coding for children from different partners #13

To me this is confusing. the "Child of Former Pa.." should be clear via the line who their parents are. Also, seems off to have the lines drawn up from "current partner" to parents when it really ought to be from "jace me"

Hi, my actual train of thought is that both children are children of "Jace me". Who the associated partner is (and their current relationship) is actually irrelevant (I think). I had already thought about color coding it somehow so that you can see directly which child belongs to which partner.

The thing about the shift is only because "Jace me" + partner are viewed as just one knot and are now simply displayed centered. That's why there is color coding, all of them outlined in gold are the partners. However, it would be possible to show the partners below the person, then everything would be correctly centered.

Yea, I can see that. Maybe it's just not what I'm used to. It could also be that I missed the "Main person" thing as I thought i was shifting focus more often when that seems to be a real deliberate action.

Color coding it would be helpful, or even drawing lines more specifically from the parents.

good work on this so far. looking great.
