OK, this is some bizarre bug in the video system. It turns out that if the
background is set to 0x00000001, this odd transparent effect is created. You
can do this with any version of Jmol -- I just effected it with Jmol 10.x.11
(June, 2006).
Prior to Jmol 11.3.39, what you do is use
background [0,0,1]
post-11.3.39, what you do is use
background [0,0,0]
That's because starting in version 11.3.39, Jmol adds 1 to the user's chosen
background color so as to make it (relatively) unique.
probably more interesting is to use:
background white
color atoms black # or [0,0,1] for older versions
Then it's the atoms that get the video!
So, there you have it.
Somehow "background 0x00000001" is a special video-mode background. (I guess
I wasn't the only one to select that as a "special" value.) Apparently the
video card uses that pixel value to put in place the video rather than the
image. The designer must have figured that no one would use 0x00000001 for a
color. Go figure!
I'm guessing this doesn't work on all video cards.
