I'm not at all fussed about the "flick" behavior - just thought I'd mention it for data purposes -- you're right, it's probably my non-reproducibility!
Many thanks for the translucency vs zshade fix -- I think depth cuing is really crucial for non-experts to really get an intuitive sense of what they're looking at and locating themselves in space -- this is a fantastic feature. I also think it makes Jmol look really "polished" Thanks Bob! -Tom On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 2:05 PM, Robert Hanson <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 12:55 PM, Thomas Stout <[email protected]>wrote: > >> >> I believe that I have just stumbled into either an oversight, a bug or -- >> most likely -- my not keeping up with version changes... >> >> Anyway, I recently decided that it was time to consider upgrading a >> (private) site that I maintain from Jmol version 11.6RC16 (signed) to the >> current version.
