Is it a nice book?

I wouldn't call it "nice"

As he said, it's a love story but it has a lot of unpleasant details about discrimination against blacks in this country. (Probably all true at one time, though I hope I can believe that things have gotten a lot better in most places.)

EDIT: I found out it was Sodium, for some reason the ATI render and the standard render display differently.
On ATI: Violet
On Fah: Cyan

It cannot be Sodium. On my screen it has links to TWO carbon atom but the Sodium can be linked to no more than ONE

Any ideas? Scientists, please, please, make more fun of this project! I think that colorful description of what is going on the screen right now would be both visually attractive and informative!

I can't stand it . . . when I first saw this title the answer in my head was "It's a love story -- a book, a movie, and now a play" but I resisted posting since it's truly off-topic.

I can't resist any longer.

I was thinking Over-Current Protection kicking in on an nVidia card = solid purple screen.

Bah I can't stand it when there seems to be such a logical fallacy without explanation...

bump..

Edit: should I add that I can't even make out the difference between violet and cyan as I'm pretty colorblind

These two pictures are showing exactly the same piece of molecule. Cyan is visible in the NVidia "display mode" of gpu client (keys 'F7' and 'F8'). The same atom in other display modes is shoing like purple (key 'F3' for example).
But may be... this is not a color of the chemical element at all? This kind of atom is always placed at the end of molecule.
So perhaps this is just a color marker for the first atom in the "current work unit"? As the "current work unit" is just the small piece of some very large protein

Wow... Someone resurrected this thread from 3 years ago.

And you bumped it without giving the answer



Now I still got to wait...

Wait, are those really different colors? I can't tell the difference between forestgreen and green

Even more I can't match the colors from that page to the images provided here.

The page is quite old - the copyright is "2000-2002". Almost ten years of computer progress gave us another colors and possibilities. But not a new description of them

And the latest huge Work Units have at least TWO of these mysterious atoms!

How many new elements have been discovered in 10 years?

I'd say Iodine = purple in accordance with the referenced document.

Umm... I can see a teal colour not a purple one. Nonetheless, v6 is no longer being developed in favor of V7 and am sure that if you reported a bug in V7, it would eventually be fixed.
