As I recall, the current rules for the halo are something like this: halo radius is atom radius * 120% but, minimum halo radius is never less than 5 pixels maximum halo radius is never more than 20 pixels greater than the atom radius. > or is there a > better way? I'm not sure what you are looking for. In this case, I suggest that you make your alpha carbons the same size as your backbone. select *; spacefill off; wireframe on; select alpha; spacefill 0.5; backbone 0.5; set display selected > also, would it be worthwhile adding a handle to control the halo color?

Which of the following do you prefer? color halo <your-color> color selections <your-color> color selectionHalo <your-color> or something else?
