Mandriva's Control Panel would be a good example of what we should aim for.

As a former Windows app developer and consultant, one of the things I disliked most about all versions of Windows was that Control Panel did not include ALL of the settings for the entire OS! Cinnamon desktop is the ONLY desktop to get this right! I hope you NEVER give up on this idea! Using LM 19.1

Agree..have been thinking about this a lot lately. Would love to see a security manager integrated also.
Promote.
Also 'Desktop','panels', 'themes', 'desklets', 'effects', 'display', 'backgrounds' must be merged into customisations. For windows users it's difficult to find each setting in different options
As a newbie I found myself downloading several different "tweak" tools to try and customise my desktop and many of them conflicted or didn't work.It would be much better as you say, to have one control center to do it all from.
I completely agree, it is a good idea to make the control center both more minty than the standard gnome, and certainly more able to handle all the little configs that otherwise takes a lot of scripting and searching of the net to accomplish. One caution though: it'd be troublesome if in our greed for more functionality we disregard the beauty of Mint's simpleness and lightweight approach. KISS.
Yes please, this is the kind of stuff that made me go Mint in the first place, GUI tools. The more the merrier. :D
It is a good idea.
help me, please !!!
since i upgrade to rafaela edition, i've loose my controlcentre, then i update controlcentre, but it can't help me. the control centre still can't launch,
what can ido to solve this problem?
YES! Do not make Mint look like a standard thing. Make it its own sort! This idea is one of the reasons that mint will be getting better and more loved!
I´m 100% behind this! :)
A nice idea. Could be nicer if system add-onn/plugin modules (with devs approval for individual items), could be added to said control center as a menu/sub-menu. Depending on system impact. But that would require a lot of work to make it play nice.
I get along OK with the gnome control center, but there is no doubt that a Mint control center that would be compatible across the board for each desktop. It would be a great improvement as the gui makes it a lot easier for my novice customer who have no clue about the command line tools let alone figure out how to use them. I think it would be great to look at the functionality of some of the other distros and improve on a combo idea to make it all mint.
Something like YaST for Opensuse is indeed very powerful and ease the administration.
Yeah, I see where you are. Like Yast in OpenSUSE, which in my opinion is THE BEST Control Panel in the entire GNU/Linux Community.
PCLinuxOS also has a great control center
Good idea indeed!
I think making other platforms services more reliable on Mint i.e. onedrive, google drive, etc is the key to people switching over. The experience Mint offers is well designed, but people want a smooth transition. Alot of hardcore Windows users (I was one of those confused users) want to be able to load the OS, input there email credentials and sync all there cloud information without having to use an alternative cloud solution. If we can make that less painful I think Mac and Windows users will see the overall benefits of running a linux machine as a primary.
I agree, as closer the gui is to windows as more will take the oportunity to choosee Mint as there new OS.
Can I ask a wish here? The mouse click, can there come an option to choose between one click an d double click. I miss that from Windows.
Good idea, all 4 years :)
simply great!
windows is a bad copy of linux sistems
W( is a copy of linux-mint but is a bad copy
