[chimerax-users] Editing preset for initial colors

[Niels Bradshaw]

Hi Elaine,

Is there a way in chimera X to change the initial colors preset for new models? 

I’m not into the default tan color, so I end up changing the color immediately every time I open a new model. 

In previous versions of Chimera, I had disabled color by model and set all new models to open with grey. In pymol, I defined the colors for the first 10 models I open in the startup script, which is even more convenient. Having the option to have the default to color by chain could also be nice if that is possible. I tried some workarounds like redefining the tan color, but it appears that is not allowed.

Thanks,
Niels
