First of all @ztlxltl , I want say you are making a great UI tool! It really looks as a modern tree with good interface and usability!  
I’m not sure, maybe its already done, maybe you already know about this trouble, but text isnt unreadable on some themes. Probably its not a high-priority issue, its just FYI.

Another problem is probably mainly my own. I often use “estimated”/“calculated” terms in dates. As a result my dates look trunkated:

Is it possiple replace these words to some signs or even hide? Maybe replace them to “~” for both cases?

The next question: is it OK that each the next (older) generation has bigger distance than the previous one? It look not very good as for me.

And the last one question: do you have some plans to add buttons to expand/collapse some branches of tree? Maybe this is the reason why distance between generations is different?

Im sorry if I repeat some questions if any. You can just ignore them.  
Thank you again!
