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.)

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 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... :evil:

bump..

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

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 :e?:

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

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.
