Hi Jeff, Sorry, tear-off menus are not available in the native aqua version of Chimera (regardless of Chimera version number or Mac OS X version number). For Mac, only the X windows version has this feature. Because the "Actions... Color" menu was one of the most useful to tear off, to provide a similar behavior in all Chimera versions we have implemented a separate Color Actions dialog (opened by choosing "Actions... Color... all options"). No global solution to allow tearing off menus in the native Mac version has been found, however. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi, I am running the native aqua version of Chimera 1.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.6, and it seems that the "tear off" feature of the menus is not available, though I was previously able to do that when running the X window version of Chimera. Is there a way to use the menu "tear off" feature in the native aqua version? Thanks! Jeff
