To change the ball/stick ratio use menu:

Modify-->Ball/Stick Ratio (it's the 8th entry in the Modify menu), or
press the Shift-q key-combination. In both cases a pop-up window will
appear where you change the ball/stick ratio value.

To switch the balls and/or sticks off, you should be in lighting-on mode
(scroll down the xcrysden's toolbox panel on the right). Click there the
"Logic" mode, and use the three chekboxes.
