Hi Kenward, That is certainly unexpected. To try to figure this out, a few questions: on those Windows machines, - does manually entering the command "color byelement" work on the structure(s) in the demo, or on any structures for that matter? - do other coloring operations work, within or separate from the demo? I don't think we know of any Chimera bug (yet) that would make everything gray. I had a problem once on some oldish Windows computers where everything except "wire" representation was really dark - it was a problem with the graphics hardware and/or driver. I could take a look if you want to mail it to me. I'm not on Windows, however. We could try it on Windows next week. Sorry about the travails, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

A demo I plan on using at school (a Windows fortress, it is) displays all atoms as grey--no color (by element). The demo was created on a Linux machine (at my home).
:(
Any thoughts?
Kenward ps. both versions of Chimera are the latest production version (2304). -- In a completely rational society, the best of us would aspire to be _teachers_ and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have. - Lee Iacocca
