• A screen resolution of exactly 256 colors required, since more colors actually give worse results (at least with thousands of colors).
What's New
• MicroWorld 2.1 is now available in native PPC as well as in 68K code!
• Now supports up to 2500 atoms.
• Import of PDB-files (proteins) possible. Option to import backbones only. Extensive PDB search capabilities including structure, basicity, polarity, chains, amino acids, nucleotides and residue ranges.
• Color mapping for PDB-properties (structure, basicity, polarity).
• Flexible import files in the Coordinate format: coordinates1 and coordinates2 in all their possible formats are recognized automatically.
• Additional MicroWorld format (MW+) for explicit bond specifications.
• More flexible import mechanism: centers with more than 8 bonds remain unconnected instead of terminating the import process.
• Colored wire frame and line models (look much better than before!).
• Support for Apple Events for launching and quitting MicroWorld.
• Torsion angle measurement.
• Deletion of selected atoms.
• Manual now available as self-reading eDOC application.
Fixes
• Better support for MW-pictures on large monitors: pictures are always centered on the screen and they don't change the screen mode (e.g. full screen) any more when opened.
• Better support for background pictures on large screens: background pictures are no more stretched to the screen size, which resulted in loss of quality. Instead, they are centered on the screen. Additionally, a whole set of backgrounds for 17'' monitors is provided in the "Backgrounds" folder.
• Enhanced depth cueing for all models.
• Improved sensitivity for z-axis rotations.
• Menu clock does not flash any more in full screen mode under System 7.5.3. All others: switch off the menu clock in the "Date&Time" control panel.
• Apple icon colors are preserved: all Apple-menu items now keep their original colors when MicroWorld is running.
• When in the background, MicroWorld does not overwrite the Finder or any other application any more when in full screen mode.
• Transparent models now also work with larger molecules (they sporadically appeared without the transparent component).
• Color Legend: updating bug after moving on background picture fixed.
• Color Part switch position (use or not use) now saved with molecule.
• Fixed printing problems when printing Dreiding models.
• The partial match option in the search labels command now works fine.
• Fixed some memory leaks.
• Increased the memory allocation of the DemoViewer (doesn't crash any more on larger screens).
