<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>
