Is this really a disadvantage? The default setting could be the Jmol window size, so there wouldn't be a difference as long as the user doesn't change it. A "fixed ratio"-option for width:hight would be useful of course. All I'm really looking for is a zoom function which effects the povray output to get a higher resolution there. The way to accomplish this is secondary to me. But I think zoom for povray would be a great improvement. > Another problem ... we can set the Jmol application window size in > pixels.

Usually the difference between different platforms should a few pixels but there might be cases you want to have a look at a lot of structures at the same time, then you need a lot of small windows, but in other cases you might want to compare just two structures or examine just one, then the standard size or near-fullscreen would be nice. I don't think it needs to be exactly the same pixels on all platforms but the same magnitude of pixels ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
