<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
The &kde; &systemsettings; provides the user with a centralized and convenient way to configure all of the &kde; settings.
</para>
<para>
&systemsettings; is made up of multiple modules. Each module is a separate application, however the &kde; &systemsettings; organizes all of these applications into a single location.
</para>
<tip>
<para>
Each &systemsettings; module can be executed individually
</para>
<para>
See section entitled <link linkend="run-modules-individually">Running
individual &systemsettings; modules</link> for more information.
</para>
</tip>
<para>
&systemsettings; groups all of the configuration modules into several categories:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><link linkend="application-appearance">Common Appearance and Behavior</link></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><link linkend="workspace-appearance">Workspace Appearance and Behavior</link></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><link linkend="network">Network and Connectivity</link></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><link linkend="hardware">Hardware</link></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><link linkend="system-administration">System Administration</link></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
The modules that make up &systemsettings; fall under one of the above categories, making it easier to locate the correct configuration module.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="using-kapp">
<title>Using &systemsettings;</title>
<para>
This section details the use of &systemsettings; itself. For information on each individual module, please see <link linkend="modules">&systemsettings; Modules</link>.

<sect1 id="starting">
<title>Starting &systemsettings;</title>
<para>
The &kde; &systemsettings; can be started in one of three ways:
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
By selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>K Button</guimenu><guisubmenu>Applications</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>System Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
By pressing <keycombo>&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>. This will bring up the &krunner; dialog. Type <command>systemsettings</command>, and press &Enter;.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Type <command>systemsettings &</command> at any command prompt.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>
All three of these methods are equivalent, and produce the same result.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="screen">
<title>The &kde; &systemsettings; Screen</title>
<para>
When you start &systemsettings;, you are presented with a window, which is divided into three functional parts.
</para>
<para>
Across the top is a toolbar. The toolbar provides the user with the ability to go back into the main view from within a module using the <guibutton>Overview</guibutton>.
You can also find a <guimenu>Help</guimenu> menu as well as a <guibutton>Configure</guibutton> button which provides you a dialog with alternate view settings.
</para>
<para>To search for something within all of the modules, start to type keywords into the search field at the right of the toolbar in the <guibutton>Overview</guibutton>. When you start typing, a list of matching topics will popup. Select one and only the groups with settings for this keyword are enabled, the other are greyed out.</para>
<para>When the icon window has the focus, you can type the first letter of
any module or module group name to select it. Typing this letter again the
selection moves to the next match.
</para>
<para>
Underneath the toolbar is an icon view of the individual modules or module groups that
make up &systemsettings; grouped by different categories. By default,
if your mouse stays a few seconds over an icon, a detailed tooltip
appears, explaining the purpose of the module or the modules in this group.

<chapter id="modules">
<title>The &kde; &systemsettings; Modules</title>
<para>
In order to make it as easy as possible, the &kde; &systemsettings; has organized options into five categories. Under each category, there are icons grouped together under subcategories. Each icon is called a module. When you double click on a module icon, you will be presented with the options of the module in the main window.
</para>
<para>
Each module will have some or all of the following buttons:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Help</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This button will provide help specific to the current module. Clicking the button will open &khelpcenter; in a new window providing detailed information on the module.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Defaults</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Clicking this button will restore this module to its default values. You must click <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to save the options.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Reset</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This button will "Reset" the module to the previous settings.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Apply</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Clicking this button will save all changes to &kde;. If you have changed anything, clicking <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> will cause the changes to take effect.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<note>
<para>
You must either "Reset" or "Apply" the changes before changing to another module.
</para>
<para>
If you try to change without saving or resetting your options, you will be asked if you want to save your changes, or discard them.
