1. The Background Properties Capplet: The background image can be set here by either
selecting a color or an image. If you would like to set the background by any other means
you may disable this capplet by unselecting Use Gnome to set background checkbox.
2. Global Panel Preferences: This capplet is provided by the Gnome Panel and is documented
in the Panel Manual.
3. The Screensaver Capplet: In this capplet you can change your screensaver properties. This
capplet contains a list of available screen savers you may choose and a demo screen.

In Global Screen Saver settings you can change the time, password, and power management
properties. You can decide how long you would like the screen saver to wait before starting
by typing the number of minutes in the Start After text box. If you would like a password
to return to your desktop click the Require Password button. Your account login password
is the password set for the screen saver.

4. Theme Selector: The Theme Selector capplet allows you to select which GTK theme you
would like to run. GTK themes are coordinated settings that define the look and feel of
such elements of graphical user interface as buttons, menus, scrollbars etc. of all Gnome
applications (more generally, of all applications using the GIMP Toolkit (GTK), hence the
name).
