[Chimera-users] Using ChimeraX in no-gui mode

[Elaine Meng]

In Chimera start Color Key (menu: Tools… Utilities… Color Key) and change number of colors to 5 and make them the same as what is in the Rainbow tool (Menu: Tools.. Depiction… Rainbow).  E.g. you can click on the color square in Rainbow and  drag over to release on the color square in Color Key to make them the same.  

I see that currently there is a minor bug in the Rainbow tool that the green is the darker CSS “green" and not standard bright green (CSS name “lime green”).  So you should change the green square to lime green, for example by clicking its border to open the Color Editor and entering “lime green” for the Color name.  I will make a bug report for this issue.
