Subject: [xcrysden] Opening Window Size
Message-ID: <01cf01c89298$947c0860$bd741920$@net>

Tone, I've noticed "recently" (that means after using a number of various
Linux distros) that XCrysDen opens (let's say some given PWscf input file)
with only a small (2-3 cm square) window which I then have to right-click
and "resize" to see the whole structure.  Is this an X-Windows issue or an
XCrysDen option I need to set?

Subject: [xcrysden] Turning off "bond sticks"
Message-ID: <01d401c89299$82f7f940$88e7ebc0$@net>

Tone, is there a quick and reversible way of turning off drawing interatomic
bond visualization so that only the "balls" are drawn?  I've looked at
"ball/stick ratio" settings, but can't get the bonds to disappear.

BTW, if I haven't said it before, thanks for writing XCrysDen and providing
it free.  I've been using various crystal drawing software going all the way
back to the original ORTEP up to various packages available today, both open
and commercial (all of which shall remain nameless), and XCrysDen beats them
all.

Set the "ball/stick ratio" to 0 (zero).
