Sorry for bringing it up :)

Contrasting to what other users seem to want, I would like to be able to 
define translucency for bonds and atoms separately... 

Reason: the original goal why I asked if translucent atoms in Jmol are 
possible is this screenshot:

  http://pymol.sourceforge.net/pmimag/800/tether.jpg

More or less that is...

I had in mind to translucently draw atoms in spacefilled mode, while drawing 
the bonds solid, resulting in something similar as in this screenshot.

If bonds would inherit translucency, this would not be possible.

PS. that's my opinion, not a statement of what you should do right now or 
so... if it's too difficult at this moment, or there are other priorities...
