Customizing Your Settings
You can change the way SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) looks and behaves to suit your
own personal tastes and needs. Some of the settings you might want to change include:
• Desktop background
• Screen saver
• Keyboard and mouse configuration
• Sounds
• File associations
These settings and others can be changed in the Control Center. To access the Control Center, click

GNOME Control Center
Some settings require that you use the YaST Control Center. These administrator settings includes
most of the hardware, the graphical user interface, Internet access, security settings, user
administration, software installation, and system updates and information. You need the root
password to access the YaST Control Center.
For information on configuring administrator settings, see Using YaST to Configure the SUSE
Linux Enterprise Desktop (http://www.novell.com/documentation/nld/nld_deployment/data/
