One minor correction... actually, you can't change the tether color -- it will be the same as the atom's color. Elaine

The reason to also show CA atoms from the cartoon residues is that the cartoon position will be close to CA but it might not be close to N or C. If the N or C is not close to the ribbon, you may see a small cone that connects it to the ribbon, which we call a "tether" .... and you can change tether color, shape, etc. or make it invisible (opacity 0 which means completely transparent) with the command "cartoon tether": <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cartoon.html#tether>
