== Proposals for alternative menus ==

=== Redesign of the default pop-up menu ===
--[[User:AngelHerraez|AngelHerraez]] 12:00, 11 May 2016 (CEST)

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.
