Paulo,
As far as I know, what you're reporting is a platform-dependent
OpenGL bug (or feature). Many graphics cards don't support rendering to
display context that is not visible. Ray-tracing doesn't have this
limitation of course, but in theory we could teach PyMOL how to use
auxillary buffers to enable off-screen OpenGL rendering as well.
Unfortunately there isn't any way to color bonds independent of
atoms in PyMOL. The closest thing you can do is create a new object
consisting of just those to bonds and to color that object separately.
Cheers,
Warren
