I am placing a "banner" of text across the top of Jmol like this:
http://www.umass.edu/molvis/tests/banner.html

(Jmol's background is black; the echo has a white background with black text.)

I want the white background of the banner to extend the full width of
Jmol. What is the best way to do this?

Currently, I am fudging this semi-satisfactorily by prepending a
block of spaces to the text of the first line of the echo.

bannerSpaces = "          " # 10 spaces

function showBannerAcrossTop(bannerMessage, bannerMessage2)
{
set echo banner_echo [50 100 %] # top center
background echo white
set echo banner_echo center
color echo black
font echo @echoFontSize sansserif bold
# spaces are to widen the background area of the banner to full Jmol width.
fullMessage = bannerSpaces + bannerMessage + bannerSpaces
fullMessage = fullMessage + "|" + bannerMessage2
echo @fullMessage
}

Thanks, -Eric
