Hi Paul, hi all, besides for the principal task of building molecules, I like using coot for studying structures. I would however be very happy to give a given chain a determined color, rather than having colors attributed by the program.
Well, you (only) have Edit -> Bond Colours -> { pull the slider } that's all you have for now - and for at least the next year. (those settings get saved to the state file, btw)
By the way, I don't know if that's a problem of mine only, but with the new version of coot (I'm currently using Bill Scott install of Coot 0.6.1 on MacOSX 10.6.2) when I try to change chain colors with the Edit-->Bond colors-->Molecule colors I only have one of the chain of a molecule that has the color changed, the others stay of the color they were.
If I understand you right, that should not be - and indeed does not happen for me. (You are in "Bonds (Colour by Molecule)" mode, right?)
