### 5.3. Beep Style Manager

Simple tool to adjust system beep device - if it is present as device and if desired/enabled. This tool uses xset(1) b command to set volume, pitch and duration of the beep sound. Modified setting can be tested with additional Beep button which is not present in the original tool, and also dynamically applied with Apply button. Save button will save `$FVWM_USERDIR/Xset.conf` with other xset(1) options which are executed during NsCDE startup.
