Description

Copied from ticket #9534.

Hi,

Thank you very much for quick fix!

I have one suggestion about default color choice for ‘color by chain’. The icon for ‘color by chain’ is pink to purple.
[cid:92e7df69-6954-4b0c-a2cf-c7952353b3db@namprd07.prod.outlook.com]

So, I thought that pink was used for /A model and purple was used for /B model. But when it was used for dimeric structure, purple was used for /A and pink was used for /B, which was somewhat unexpected.

(/A model uses purple and /B model uses pink).

Matching color order for icon and using color for dimeric structure will be more intuitive and a little bit more helpful for beginner.

Best regards,
Ah-Ram

Ok. I'm surprised you paid attention to the order. I agree it is slightly better with chain A purple on left and chain B pink on right, so I rotated the icon 180 degrees to achieve that.
