I chose changing the whole page because at least the legend text background must match the applet's. I tried to do so on the legend div's, but for some reason I had trouble and resorted to this easy solution.

This last one could be avoided in Jmol, but I am trying to keep homology with the original page where I got the PDB file and ideas. I thought of redefining the center of rotation, but this has to be done carefully so that it does not interfere with subsequent buttons pushed in any order the user decides. Goes to the to-do list. By the way, that reminds me of a problem I have had in other page: "center selected" resets the zoom. Is this intentional? How can I redefine center of rotation without altering the current view? > 2) If the buttons "Van der WAals radii","Atomic radii", "All radii" or > "Reload" are pressed while "Show element symbols" is on, the labels > disappear.

The labels was a last-time addition since my preferred choice, "hover %i %e", is not working well, so it needs polishing.

I redefined the labels position to get closer, but I thought in some cases it was coming inside the spacefilled atom; I will check again.
