Objectives

These relate to the overall design of the settings "shell" - individual settings panels have their own goals.

• Don't overwhelm with too many settings all at once.
• Prioritise the most interesting/frequently used settings. This can include:
  • Networking and Wi-Fi
  • Personalisation, such as background, search, notifications.
  • Privacy settings.
• Group settings logically, to aid browsing.
• Effective search.
