To activate, place a mark in the check box labelled <guilabel +>Use customised bell</guilabel +>, and enter the complete pathname to the sound file in the text box labelled <guilabel +>Sound to Play</guilabel +>.

If you select <guilabel +>Invert screen</guilabel +>, all colours on the screen will be reversed.
