  1. well actually in a default install, you have 11 different ways to open system settings :p thats why the system settings icon in launcher has been criticised quite a lot!

      1. In a fresh install there is a dedicated icon in the launcher on the left side! Then you can use other options in the ‘Me Menu’ and the power button and hit the back key to open settings!
        Besides you can always use the Dash to search and open settings!
        There was actually an image making fun of this which I can’t find right now :p

  2. and I would recommend advanced users to install ‘GNOME tweak tool’ to play around with some settings not available by default! You can use the command below in a terminal

    $ sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

    or search for it in the Software centre, if you hate the command line ;)
