Proposals for alternative menus

Redesign of the default pop-up menu

--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.
