Hi Jared and Vaheh -
Jared, you've put way more thought into this than I did :-) When I said it's
easy to implement, I was only thinking of object color. Among the various cases
you describe, the "dominant color" is probably the most important one, as it
might not be obvious to the user that object color can be different from atom
colors.
color blue, (obj) ;# only changes atom colors
color blue, obj ;# changes object and atom colors
cmd.set_object_color("obj", "blue") ;# only changes object color
More complex situations like spectrum or per-representation colors can be
neglected I think - I wouldn't know how to map those to a label color in a
useful way.
As a first step, I can add internal_gui_name_color_mode=1 with object colors.
Cheers,
Thomas
