Subject: Upgrade to Sierra
Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2017 17:58:53 +0100
From: F.Xavier Gomis-Rüth <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:fxgr@ibmb.csic.es"><fxgr@ibmb.csic.es></a>
Dear Elaine,
I recently had to upgrade to Sierra from Mountain Lion and now I find that ions are displayed as black spheres only
in Chimera v. 1.9. Any ideas on what I should change?
Kind regards,
Xavier

Elaine, it's not only the ions, its all the atoms and bonds.

<pre wrap="" class="">Dear Xavier,
I’m not an expert on this kind of thing, so I’m forwarding to the chimera-users list.
(Sending to the list is always recommended… I will still answer it if I can, just as fast!)
Although I don’t know if it’s related, maybe you should get a newer version of Chimera. Using Chimera versions 1.11.2 and 1.12 daily build on both a laptop and a desktop running Sierra, I do not have this problem.
Best,
Elaine
