[chimerax-users] Set transparency on DNA stubs

[Siyu Chen]

Dear chimerax developers,

I am writing to ask about an issue regarding to the transparency of DNA bases. 

I set the double strand DNA as stubs and colored cyan, and I wanted to set it as transparent (trans 70 tar c). However, it looks like only the DNA backbones become transparent, and the bases are still bright and solid. I even tried to throw in all possible targets into the 'trans' command (acrsbpfl) and got the same looking images. I am just wondering if this is because of the style or color that makes the bases look solid? Also, do you have other suggestions to get around this issue?

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Best,
Siyu Chen
