[Chimera-users] labels turned white

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Oleksiy,
	We cannot reproduce this problem on a Linux system either.  So just these three commands produce white text for you:

2dlabels read your-labels-file
2dlabels change * bgColor 1,1,1,0.75
2dlabels change title visibility show 

If so, the only thing I can think of is that’s it’s a graphics driver bug — try upgrading your graphics driver and see if that makes a difference.  Also, you should try the same commands on another machine if you can and see what color the title is.  The final thing you should do is use Chimera’s bug-reporting mechanism (Help->Report A Bug) to submit a bug report.  That will include a lot of information about the system you are using and may help us find the problem.
