Icons in the Nucleotides tab of the
Toolbar allow
changing the style of nucleotides in atomic models.
They apply to the displayed models only
(those with 
checkboxes in the
Model Panel
checked for themselves and any parents), and if those models contain
a selection, only the selected parts.
Style changes are only visible for nucleotide atoms that are displayed,
such as with the Molecule Display icon
or the show command.
Some of the nucleotide icons also appear in the
Molecule Display tab.

Clicking an icon shows the executed command in the Log. Nucleotide style icons act on the currently selected atoms, if any (specified as sel), otherwise the currently displayed atomic models (specified as a list of model numbers).
