Hi Alessio,
It is another option of the "cartoon" command, "suppressBackboneDisplay false", which you can shorten when you enter, for example:

cartoon suppress false

There are lots of options in each command that we don't want to explain one by one, so you should really take a look at the help pages:

Best,
Elaine
