Introduction

The GNOME Control Center allows you to configure various parts of your system using a collection of tools called capplets. These capplets may be associated with the core set of GNOME applications or applications in which the developers have written capplets for. Your Control Center may contain more capplets than are documented here depending on the applications installed on your system.

The Control Center is divided into two main sections, the menu of configurable capplets and the main work space. Working with the Control Center simply requires you selecting a capplet from the menu on the left and double clicking on it. Once this is done, the workspace will change accordingly allowing you to configure the item.
