Hi Christopher,

It is possible to specify additional track display attributes in the 
trackDb.txt file of a data hub. Please note that the colorByStrand 
attribute only works for beds 6-8 (or bigBeds 6-8). This is how I 
structured my trackDb.txt to enable the feature:

track track_name
bigDataUrl track_data_url
shortLabel short_label
longLabel long_label
type bigBed 6
colorByStrand 255,0,0 0,0,255

Please contact the mail list ([email protected]) again if you have any 
further questions.
