<para>
In this dialog you can change the settings of &applet;:
</para>
<itemizedlist mark="bullet">
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Network device:</guilabel> Choose the network device that the applet should monitor from the
popdown list of the combobox. Usually all available devices are listed, however you can enter one yourself, too.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Update interval:</guilabel> Enter the time between two updates of the applet.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Label font size:</guilabel> Enter the size of the text displayed in the applet.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Show sum instead of in and out:</guilabel> If you check this box then the applet will show
the sum of the in and out rate. The applet will take only half of the space in the panel in this case.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Show bits/s (b/s) instead of bytes/s (B/s):</guilabel> Check this if you want the applet to
display bits per second instead of bytes/s.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Change icon according to the selected device:</guilabel> Usually the applet will show an icon
representing the type of network device you monitor. So it will show a phone for Point to Point connections
(ppp - modems, etc.), a network card for Ethernet (eth), etc.
When this is unchecked, the applet will always show the network card icon, no matter which device you monitor.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Always monitor a connected device, if possible:</guilabel> When your connection is down, &applet; look for a running one for monitoring.
