Different visualization of charges?

Is there a possibility to let the charges have a circle around them?

It is easier to discern them from the molecule and the atoms with charges are often the most important parts of a reaction/molecule. Especially the - sign easily gets lost when looking at molecules.

I couldn't find an option for that somewhere in the menus.

Unfortunately, we do not have this feature currently.

Hi,

the presentation of charges is really a problem in MarvinSketch. As shown in the attached screenshots, the plus and especially the minus signs are much too tiny. And after showing also the lone pairs the charges are nearly invisible.

One solution would be, to enlarge the font and to use this font in bold setting. To get a larger minus sign, I suggest to use instead of the hyphen (-) the underline ( _ ), which is often larger.

There could be a new option in Preferences - Structure - MarvinSketch - Charge labels FontType and FontSize.

Or both charges are inserted in the same way as the two lone pair dots (Are these little images ?).

Best regards, Hans-Ulrich

Thank you for highlighting this problem. I can also see that we have to improve our charge drawing, but unfortunately, we do not have enough capacity to do that for the 5.10 release.
