Hello John,
What I did to configure Chimera on my Linux box was to go into
Favorites->Preferences.
In the window that opens, choose New Molecules from the drop-down box
Category. You
can then play with the options there; for what you need, I guess set ribbon
display off,
atom style as ball, bond style as stick. And maybe also turn off the smart
initial display.
Hope this helps,
Tim
