"species color" seems not working #26

Closed xunhuazhao closed 9 years ago

All colors seems determined by the atom names, no matter if "species color" is set. Could you pls have a look? Thx.

The purpose of the species color changes only the look in the editor GUI 'kmos edit ...' but not on screen for 'kmos view'. [1] If you wanted to change the look on screen you would have to modify e.g. kmos/run.py:get_atoms() and hack how kmos uses ASE using jmol colors ...
