This is the system settings program for [[Fedora]] and many other [[GNU/Linux]] systems.

[[File:Gnome_System_Settings_main.png]]

== Access via the settings menu ==

At the top-right corner of the screen is the settings menu, where your volume control, and possibly other settings like Wi-Fi and battery indicator (on a laptop) appear. Beside these icons is a downward-pointing triangle.

Click this triangle to open up the settings menu. At the bottom are (usually three) circular buttons. One of these looks like a screwdriver crossing a wrench (spanner). Click this to open '''Settings'''.

== Access via the Activities Overview ==

[[Open Activities Overview]]

* You may have a '''Settings''' icon on the Dash. It looks like a screwdriver crossing a wrench (spanner).

* You can type <tt>Settings</tt> into the search box to find the Settings program. You can also search for the name of a Settings screen (eg: '''Details''' or '''Network''') to search for it, directly. Click the icon in the search results to launch that program; or, use the arrow keys to move the highlighted light rectangle to select it, then press '''Return''' or '''Enter'''.

* You can locate '''Settings''' from the '''All Applications''' view. Click on the nine small dots grouped together at the bottom of the Dash (the “Tic-Tac-Toe” icon). Select '''All''' applications, not just '''Frequent''', at the bottom of the screen. Scroll until you locate '''Settings''' in alphabetical order. Scroll either with your mouse wheel, or using two fingers on a touchpad, or by “grabbing” a blank area of the screen and “dragging” up or down.

== From the '''Enter a Command''' window ==

Open the '''Enter a Command''' window. (You can set the keyboard shortcut in Settings under Keyboard, but the default is to hold '''Alt''' or '''Meta''' and press '''F2'''.) Type <tt>gnome-control-center</tt> and press '''Return''' or '''Enter'''.

== From a Terminal ==

Type <tt>gnome-control-center</tt>
