The GNOME Control Center

The Mandrake 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 other applications for which the developers have written capplets.

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 to select a capplet from the menu on the left and double click on it. Once this is done, the workspace will change, allowing you to configure the item.

You may start the Control Center one of three ways. To launch the Control Center without any particular active capplet select the Control Center menu item from the Settings submenu in the Main Menu. You can also start the control center from the panel without the menu button if your panel has the control center launcher placed on it.

If you know which capplet you would like to edit you may start that capplet by selecting the correct menu item in the Control Center menu.
