Hi Miriam, It saves your previous window size -- maybe you used a small window the last time? The graphics window is the black area, and when it is small, there is a white unused area around it to accommodate the width of the menu and command line. However, regardless of how you arrived at this point, you can get rid of the white part and go back to manual resizing with any of the following: - using command "~windowsize" - manually resizing the overall window smaller so that all of the white area disappears, then dragging it larger again - using command "windowsize x y" where x and y are the desired width and height of the graphics window (and large enough so that no white area is needed) <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/windowsize.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera team, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but the new version does not open correctly on my Mac (OS-X-10.6.2). I get a small black square surrounded by white space that will not enlarge. Is there some setting I should adjust? Best wishes, Miriam Gochin Touro University - CA miriam.gochin@tu.edu 707-638-5463
