Options

This selection allows users to toggle on/off and customize the various sound features built into A-Communicator. The checkboxes used to control the sound options can be especially useful to blind and low vision users who may require an audio cue to alert them of new messages, when other users come online and when they leave. The buttons on the right enable users to assign a unique sound to each selection. After making changes select "Save" to retain these new settings or "Cancel" to restore the dialog to its default settings.

About

This dialog includes the version of the application, rights of usage, and information about the creators of A-Communicator.

My JID

Selecting this option displays your username and the server to which you are connected (the @ sign is used as a bridge between the two.) The message displayed does not include your password. If you forget your password, you must contact the server administrator.
