The Global Target Configurations panel lets you set the default visual style for each class of molecule. Each target is a collapsible card.

Available Targets#

The all target is a catch-all that applies to every atom in the structure. It is useful as a fallback representation but is hidden by default. Enable it only when you want a uniform style applied across the entire structure regardless of molecule type.

Representation Types#

Each target can use any of the following representations:

Color#

Each target has a color mode toggle:

• Theme — uses a Mol* built-in coloring scheme applied dynamically to the structure (e.g. chain-id, element-symbol, secondary-structure, residue-name, sequence-id, uncertainty, b-factor)
• Solid — a single flat hex color applied uniformly to all atoms in the target

Size & Opacity#

• Size maps to the size_factor parameter in MolViewSpec, scaling atom/bond radius relative to the default
• Opacity (0–1) adds a MolViewSpec opacity node; particularly useful for making surfaces semi-transparent while keeping the cartoon underneath visible

Applying Changes#

Click Apply to Mol* in the sidebar. Changes are saved to your browser’s synced storage and take effect on the next badge click or workspace load.

Sub-Parameters#

Some representations expose additional options in a collapsible drawer below the style selector:
