[Chimera-users] Dim colors in Chimera on OS X 10.10 public beta (Yosemite)

[Conrad Huang]

Unfortunately, we have not tested Chimera on Yosemite yet.  It is highly 
likely that there is some OpenGL issue given the images that you are 
seeing.  We will try to get to this soon, but we're pretty tight on 
programmer resources.

If you feel adventurous (which I assume you are since you're running 
Yosemite :-) ), you can try playing with some OpenGL options by going to 
the General category in Preferences and turn on "Debug OpenGL on 
startup".  The next time you start Chimera, it should display a dialog 
where you can selectively turn certain OpenGL options on and off (see 
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/debug/debug.html). 
  If you discover anything, please let us know.
