Dear Elaine,
I am now trying to get this done in ChimeraX where there is indeed a similar option. Unfortunately, if I proceed as in the instructions
I do not get the cell box, in contrast with old Chimera. I also tried through the command line but unsuccessfully.
Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Xavier

Hi Xavier,
You can select the box (Ctrl-click on it) and then use menu: Actions... Color... [choose color], then clear selection by Ctrl-click on blank area of window or menu Select... Clear Selection.
I hope this helps,
Elaine

Dear all,
is there a way in Chimera or ChimeraX to get the unit-cell box being drawn in another colour than white?
This forces the background to be dark....
Thanks a lot in advance,
Xavier
