# 3.4. The KSCD Options tab

The LED Color: and Background Color: fields show the color selected for the foreground and background of the status display. Press the Change button next to the color box to change these colors.

The CDROM Device field contains the name of the CD-ROM device to be used to play audio CDs. The default value is `/dev/cdrom`. The permissions on this device must be set to allow opening this device read-only. Changing the permissions on this device file will in almost all cases require superuser privileges and can be done from the command line, or in the Super User Mode of Konqueror.

The Unix mail command field shows the command used to send new CDDB entries to the database. The default value is `mail `-s `%s```. You will need to make sure this command will actually send mail to non-local systems if you want to submit CDDB entries, especially if you access the Internet through a dial-up connection. Check the documentation for your Linux distribution for details. Some Linux distributions that use sendmail to deliver e-mail require only that you enter your mail host into the "Smart" relay host field in `/etc/sendmail.cf`. In addition, the CDDB site will want to be able to mail you back; it may therefore also be necessary to edit `/etc/sendmail.cf` to ensure that the return address on the submission is valid. Your mileage is likely to vary. If all else fails, use SMTP instead.

The WWW-Browser section lets you choose which web browser to use to access the web sites in the information button menus. You can choose either Konqueror or a custom browser with the radio buttons. By default, the Use Custom Browser field contains `netscape ``%s```, for use with Netscape Navigator or Communicator.

The Show Tool Tips checkbox turns tooltips (tiny windows that pop up when the mouse is "parked" briefly over a control) on or off.

Enable KPanel Docking causes a KSCD control to appear in the Kicker panel.

Play on Tray Close causes CD play to start when the tray is closed, with no need to press the Play button.

Stop Playing on Exit causes CD playback to stop when KSCD is closed.

Eject on Finish causes the CD to be ejected when playback ends.

Random is Shuffle means that when random play is used, each track is played only once.

The Help button opens the KSCD help contents page.

OK saves the current settings and exits; Cancel exits without saving.
