I am having trouble getting the "save as default" option in properties to work for "atom color" and "isosurface lvl" and "color".  What are the files I could edit to make the changes myself.  I know elements.ini contains color information, but I don't understand how the colors are defined in this file?  This is on 64bit windows 7.

Thanks
Josh from Michigan State University

Hi Joshua!!

I'm having the same trouble in 64 bits windows 10. Have you solved it?

Regards!! Leo...

I'm trying to study this issue on a Linux system, and the custom styles data is saved in

~/.VESTA/style/default.ini

You just gonna have to find a similar file in a userspace of your windows machine.

I have tried to change an atom color and save it as default, however, from what I can tell the new color  is not applied to a new structure, only to the original one and the changes are saved in the .vesta file.

As to the isostructure data


when I made changes and saved it as default, there was a new block of text added to  my default.ini  file at line 953

ISURF
  1   0          3 255   0   0 255 255
  0   0   0   0


looks like

3        is isosurface level (I changed it from default 46.4002)
255 0 0          is  red color. (Green and Blue are 0 respectively)

255 255          "opacity 1" and "opacity 2",

I don't know  what first two digits mean.

Hopefully this will help.
