# Chapter 4. Configuration

KTimemon can be configured via a straight-forward dialog (see also the discussion of the Configuration Menu). On the General page, the sample interval can be specified as well as scaling information (see also the discussion of the extended mode). If the Autoscaling check box is ticked (autoscaling is explained in the FAQ section), the scaling factors cannot be edited, since KTimemon determines them automatically.

The Colours page can be used to tailor the colours of the bar graph to individual preferences. A small sample bar graph gives immediate feedback.

In the Interaction page, mouse bindings can be adapted. Clicking a mouse button on the KTimemon window can be ignored, trigger a mode switch (see also Modes), invoke the context menu (see also Menu), or invoke an external process. The command line specified for external processes is interpreted by the standard shell, i.e. shell commands, environment variables, redirection etc. can be used.

The Interaction page also contains a check box which can be used to disable to automatic appearance of tool-tips with numeric information about the bar graphs (compare Onscreen Fundamentals).
