Hi Gea-Ny,

  To save an image having a transparent background in Chimera 1.8 use File / Save Image… and click the "Transparent background" option in that dialog.

Dear Chimera developers and users:
 
I would like to know how to make the background of Chimera-generated images transparent . I used to be able to do this with an older version of Chimera. But with Chimera 1.8, I could not figure out how to do this. There are options in the 'Color/Background' to adjust 'Opacity', which to me means that I could make the background transparent by using 'zero'. But this did not happen. Could you please advise?
 
Thank you.
