DESCRIPTION
       cinnamon-settings runs the graphical user interface allowing to config-
       ure 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 xlets.

MODULE
       Specifying a module allows to configure it directly.
       The following modules are available. You	can use	name or	synonym.
       The modules with	* have a configuration interface with tabs.  Each  tab
       can be directly opened (see TAB section below).
       The modules with	** need	root rights to open their configuration	inter-
       face. So	the only tab that will always be open is the first one.

PANEL
       PANEL is	the panel on which the user want install some  applets.	  User
       desktop can have	up to four panels.
       panel1 is the first panel (panel	by default).
       panel2, panel3 and panel4 exist only if the user	has created them.

UUID and INSTANCE
       The applets, desklets, extensions and themes are	the xlets.

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

       There are two kinds of xlets: System and	Spices.

       System  xlets  are  in	/usr/local/share/cinnamon/applets/,   /usr/lo-
       cal/share/cinnamon/desklets/  and  /usr/local/share/themes/; their UUID
       ends with '@cinnamon.org' except	for themes. There is no	system	exten-
       sion.

       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/.
       The  Spices  installed  by user are in ~/.local/share/cinnamon (for ap-
       plets, desklets and extensions) and in ~/.themes.

       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.

SORT
       Possible	choices	are:
	       - name or 0
	       - score or 1 (default value)
	       - date or 2
	       - installed or 3
	       - update	or 4 (upgradable Spices	first, then acts as date)

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -h, --help
	      Print a help text	describing the supported command-line options,
	      and then exit.

       -s SORT,	--sort=SORT
	      Specific	to  the	 'download'  tab  (see	below)	for   applets,
	      desklets,	extensions and themes modules.

       -t TAB, --tab=TAB
	      Select the tab to	open in	the settings. Possible choices are:
	       -  A  number  from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of available
	      tabs.
	       - The name of the tab (see list below).

       To open System Settings:
	      $	cinnamon-settings

	      $	cinnamon-settings printers

	      $	cinnamon-settings desklets photoframe@cinnamon.org
	      $	cinnamon-settings extensions watermark@germanfr

       To add some applets on the second panel (if exists):
	      $	cinnamon-settings applets panel2

       To open the download tab	of the applets settings:
	      $	cinnamon-settings applets --tab=download
	      or
	      $	cinnamon-settings applets -t 1

       To open the download tab	of a type of Spices (applets, desklets,	exten-
       sions, themes), sorting them by 'name', 'score',	'date',	'installed' or
       'update', use the '--sort=' or '-s' argument:
	      $	cinnamon-settings TYPE --tab=download --sort=SORT
	      or
	      $	cinnamon-settings TYPE -t 1 -s SORT
	      where TYPE can be	applets, desklets, extensions or themes
	      and SORT can be name (or 0), score (or  1),  date	 (or  2),  in-
	      stalled (or 3), update (or 4)

	      Example:
	      $	cinnamon-settings applets -t 1 -s date
