Hi John,

Thank you so much for the quick reply.

Now it works!

I forgot to add {} or "" around the representation string before.

Regards,

Jian Zou

Hi,
Here's an example of how you'd use it in your .vmdrc file:
  mol default color {colorID 5}
  mol default style {NewCartoon 0.300000 6.000000 4.100000 0}
  mol default selection {name CA}
  mol default material {Transparent}

Enjoy,
