If this option is disabled, the System bell will be silenced. </para> + +<para +>The next check box down can be used to play a different sound whenever the system bell is triggered. 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 +>.

This provides a visual signal (inverting the screen or flashing a colour across it) when the system bell would normally sound. </para> + +<para +>To use the visible bell, first place a mark in the check box labelled <guilabel +>Use visible bell</guilabel +>. </para> + +<para +>You can then select between <guilabel +>Invert screen</guilabel +>, or <guilabel +>Flash screen</guilabel +>. If you select <guilabel +>Invert screen</guilabel +>, all colours on the screen will be reversed. If you choose <guilabel +>Flash screen</guilabel +>, you can choose the colour by clicking the button to the right of the <guilabel +>Flash screen</guilabel +> selection. </para> + +<para +>The slider bar can be used to adjust the duration of the visible bell.
