Hi Miguel, This isn't exactly what you were asking, but thought I would mention that if you use the command, you can specify color (and linewidth and many other options) directly, for example: findhb color orange linewidth 4 <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/findhbond.html> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi,
I think the subject of the message is explicit enough... Perhaps the option of having a default color different than cyan for hydrogen bonds already exists, but I have failed to find it. I have this line in my .chimera/preferences file:
'FindHBonds': {'line width': 2.0},
So I tried to include something like 'color: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)' (or bond color or H-bond color...) in the FindHBonds dictionary, alas without success.
Let me give some rationale: I prefer having a white background, against which cyan is not really very visible when the structure gets complex. Not to me eyes at least.
Thank you!
Best regards,
