<title>Description</title>
|

|
|
<para><command>gnome-control-center</command> is a graphical
|
|
user interface to configure various aspects of GNOME.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When run without arguments, the shell displays the
|
|
<firstterm>overview</firstterm>, which shows all available
|
|
configuration panels. The overview allows to open individual
|
|
panels by clicking on them. It also has a search entry
|
|
to find panels by searching keywords.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is also possible to specify a panel name
|
|
as commandline argument to go directly to that panel.
|
|
Individual panels may accept further arguments to specify
|
|
which tab to open (for multi-tabbed panels) or which
|
|
item to display (for panels with lists).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <command>gnome-control-center</command>
|
|
is not meant to expose each and every setting that is
|
|
available. The settings that can be found here represent
|
|
what is considered useful and commonly needed options.
|
|
For more exotic or uncommon options, you can look at
|
|
<command>gnome-tweak-tool</command> or the
|
|
<command>gsettings</command> commandline utility.</para>
