Rationale:

Frequent operations like rendering styles (cartoon, trace, ball and stick) are currently involving 3 or 4 submenus; same for coloring.
The regular user may not realize that most of the times the styles need to be applied to the atoms, all other elements just inherit style and color.

Proposal:

Simplify the most frequent operations by bringing atom style and color options to the first level submenus.

Another addition: for Boundbox, Axes and UnitCell there is currently a checkbox (display/hde) plus a submenu that controls the display (off) and style (dotted, px width, Å width in several submenus). The proposal merges all these into a single menu entry:

To test the changed menu live, download this file, save it to a known location and load it into Jmol using this command:

 load menu "somePath/JmolMenu-14-4-4_new.menu"
