Improve Organizational Chart UI – looking for design/UX suggestions

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m working on customizing the Organizational Chart page in Frappe/ERPNext.
Functionally everything works fine, but I’m trying to improve the UI and visual hierarchy to make it more modern and readable.

Current state:

  • Default horizontal org chart

  • Cards show employee name + connections

  • Layout feels a bit flat and stretched on wide screens

What I’m looking for:

  • Design suggestions (layout, spacing, alignment)

  • Whether a vertical org chart is preferred UX-wise

  • Best practices followed in other Frappe implementations

  • Any examples, themes, or customizations you’ve seen in real projects

Tech details:

  • Using getOrgChart

  • Custom JS override on organizational-chart page

  • Open to CSS-only or JS-based improvements

I’ve attached a screenshot of the current design for reference.
Would really appreciate feedback or pointers :folded_hands:

Thanks in advance!
