Hi Rich I see your point --more or less--. I gather that you want some more commands included in the top menu, and a custom startup set of options. To do that, you'd have to modify the source code and package it into a custom Jmol.jar file.
But following your description and comments, I also think that you may be best served by the applet, so you should consider about offering your users a webpage with the applet. 1.- I don't think that the app and the applet have different needs. You can work nearly the same in both, and do similar things. 2.- Your users could just connect to your page and see the structures you provide from the server, without the need for downloading anything. But you can also offer the page+applet+structures as a download for local study. 3.- You can customize the initial setup more and more easily in a webpage than in a custom app. E.g.: set the initial display (nr. of molecules, unti cells etc.), set the initial center of rotation to the center of the displayed atoms, show file info, etc. You can also customize the pop-up menu, or even hide it completely and leave only available the commands you decide to pre-program, either in the menu or in the page. 4.- The web page will be more easy and intuitive to a new user, as you can include help, explanations, captions, buttons, menus etc. that are known to the user in look and feel. Hope it is of help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
