.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
\fBcinnamon-settings\fP runs the graphical user interface allowing to configure Cinnamon.

It can also be used to run the graphical user interface allowing to configure a specific module, add applets to a panel, and manage \fIxlets\fP.
.SH MODULE
Specifying a module allows to configure it directly.
.br
The following modules are available. You can use name or synonym.
.br
The modules with \fB*\fP have a configuration interface with tabs. Each tab can be directly opened (see TAB section below).
.br
The modules with \fB**\fP need root rights to open their configuration interface. So the only tab that will always be open is the first one.

.SH PANEL
PANEL is the panel on which the user want install some \fBapplets\fP.
User desktop can have up to four panels.
.br
\fBpanel1\fP is the first panel (panel by default).
.br
\fBpanel2\fP, \fBpanel3\fP and \fBpanel4\fP exist only if the user has created them.

.SH "UUID and INSTANCE"
The applets, desklets, extensions and themes are the \fIxlets\fP.
.br

Each xlet has an UUID (Universal Unique IDentifier). The structure of an UUID is xlet_name@author, except for themes.
.br

There are two kinds of xlets: System and Spices.
.br

System xlets are in \fB/usr/share/cinnamon/applets/\fP, \fB/usr/share/cinnamon/desklets/\fP and \fB/usr/share/themes/\fP; their UUID ends with '@cinnamon.org' except for themes. There is no system extension.
.br

Spices are xlets offered by developers to the Cinnamon team, which evaluates and validates them. Complete description of these Spices can be found at https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/.
.br
The Spices installed by user are in \fB~/.local/share/cinnamon\fP (for applets, desklets and extensions) and in \fB~/.themes\fP.

INSTANCE argument is reserved to developers. When an applet or desklet has multiple instances, the configuration interface of each of them can be directly opened by this INSTANCE argument. Users have neither the possibility nor the need to know the value of INSTANCE.
