Hi Jakob,
To change the background color in Chimera use Favorites/Preferences, category Background, and click on the "Background color" button. That will bring up the color chooser, and you can set the color to white for printing.
I would add that if you are changing the background color, you may also want to set the depth-cue color (the color that objects fade to with distance) to that same color. You can control the depth-cue color via the Effects tab of the Side View widget (Favorites...Side View). Controlling both of these will be considerably easier / more obvious in the next release, since both will also be under Actions...Color. There will also be equivalent command-line commands ("set bg_color" and "set dc_color"). Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab pett@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
