Q: What do you folks think we should do?
Leave as is.
Q: Should we allow bonds to have more than one color?
No. This is unnecessary and, I think, can't be defined as such.
Right now you can color the "half" of the bond any way you want by
coloring the atom at that end. Of course, that means
a) If you are showing the atom as a sphere, you have to have both the sphere and
b) all half bonds coming out of an atom must be the same color.
(although all single-color bonds coming from an atom could be any color, because
we CAN "color bonds" already)
If people want otherwise, they are probably using Jmol for something other than
molecular visualization. Why would you ever want half the color from the atom
coming out at a different color than the atom itself, or half the bond color
from one bond different from half the color of another from the same atom. This
could not possibly be useful, I think.
It IS interesting, though, to think of specific translucent bonds. Could very
nicely depict partial bonds in transition states.
Q: Does this mean that there is a third 'bondmode' ?
No, please. BONDMODE AND/OR should have nothing to do with this. This relates
specifically to which specific bonds are SELECTED for the operation, not whether
they are colored half and half or not. If anything, call it something completely
different.
