That is a pretty picture.
I think we can get close, but without the shadows.

Yes, you will be able to do that if you explicitly give the bonds a color.
> If bonds would inherit translucency, this would not be possible.
It will be possible to do this, you just need to explicitly set the bond
color as well as the atom color.
load foo
color atoms translucent blue
# atoms are now translucent blue
# bonds are also translucent blue because they are inheriting from the atoms
color bonds {opaque} yellow
# the word 'opaque' is optional
# bonds are now opaque (solid) yellow, because they have their own color
