Bob, it is really amazing!
After loading a larger structure (1AON, ~60,000 atoms) JSmol was still
responsive enough on my system with "antialiasDisplay off" (Chromium
24.0 was noticeable slower than Firefox 12.0).
I tried to enlarge the canvas for further performance tests by setting
the CSS parameters "width" and "height" (using the "Edit CSS" function
of the Firefox "Web Developer" extension) but it didn't work. (It did
work using the same strategy at this site:
http://www.8bitrocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CanvasResizeBlog.html)
The popup menu is not on the todo list above. Does this mean it should
work? (It doesnt work in Chromium and Firefox on OpenSuse 11.4.)
It would be nice if the default background color on the test page
wouldn't be white because now it is very difficult to find the right
spot to use the "right border zoom" function. (Especially since mouse
wheel support for zoom doesn't seem to be available yet.)
