I was coloring surfaces (picking with cntrl-left_click and then using accelerator 'co'), but I thought the dialog said 'Color Editor'. -Jeff Tom Goddard wrote:
Hi Jeff,
Not sure whether you mean the color palette in the "Color Editor" dialog or the "Surface Color" dialog. The first one comes up when you press any color button in Chimera and has a row of (initially black) squares at the bottom that you can drag colors into. It's values are saved in your Chimera preferences files, ~/.chimera/preferences. The Surface Color dialog only saves the colors in sessions when the color map is being used to color some surface. Neither of these have the option to save or load colors from a separate file, though I agree that would be useful.
