[[File:EditPreferences-Display-tab-default-51.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Menu: "Edit->Preferences..." - "Display" - tab - defaults]]
The {{man label|Display}} tab contains preferences relevant to the display of data and names, '''Appearance and format settings'''. Options are:
*{{man label|Calendar on reports:}} '''Gregorian'''(default). This option controls the display of calendar on reports, tools, gramplets, views. Several different calendars are available (see [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Detailed_-_part_1#Editing_dates|Date Edition]]). Two dates with two different calendars will not properly display timeline or period, (e.g. Using the Gregorian calendar as the default displayed calendar, users will have a better coherency for displaying dates on period).
*<span id="surname guessing">{{man label|Surname Guessing:}}<span> This option affects the initial family name of a child when they are added to the family tree. The default {{man label|Father's surname}} will use the family name of the father. Selecting {{man label|None}} means that no surname guessing will be attempted. Selecting {{man label|Combination of mother's and father's surname}} will use the father's name followed by the mother's name. Finally, {{man label|[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name Icelandic style]}} will use the father's given name followed by the "sson" suffix (e.g. the son of Edwin will be guessed as Edwin''sson'').
{{man tip|1=Tip |2=The {{man label|Surname Guessing:}} option only affects the initial family name guessed by Gramps when the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person]]}} dialog is launchedfrom a {{man label|Family Editor}} window.You can modify that name the any way you see fit. Set this Preferences [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display tab]] option to the value that you will most frequently use, as it will save you a lot of typing.
