<para>Uno strumento di preferenze è una piccola applicazione che consente di cambiare lo delle impostazioni nello GNOME Desktop. Ciascuno strumento di preferenze ricopre un particolare ambito del computer. Ad esempio, con lo strumento di preferenze <application>Mouse</application> è possibile impostare il mouse per l'uso con la mano destra o sinistra, oppure cambiare la velocità del puntatore sullo schermo. Con lo strumento di preferenze <application>Finestre</application> è possibile impostare il comportamento comune a tutte le finestre, come ad esempio il modo in cui si selezionano con il mouse.</para>

<para>Per aprire uno strumento di preferenze, scegliere <menuchoice><guimenu>Desktop</guimenu><guisubmenu>Preferenze</guisubmenu></menuchoice> nel pannello superiore. Scegliere quindi lo strumento richiesto dal sottomenu.</para>

<para>Tranne poche eccezioni, i cambiamenti apportati alle impostazioni in uno strument di preferenze hanno effetto immediatamente, senza la necessità di chiudere lo strumento di preferenze. È possibile mantenere lo strumento di preferenze aperto mentre si provano vari cambiamenti, così da provare diverse combinazioni secondo le proprie necessità</para>

<para>Alcune applicazioni o componenti di sistema possono aggiungere i propri strumenti di preferenza al menu.</para>

<note><para>Alcune impostazioni per il sistema possono necessitare di privilegi di amministratore. Queste solo nel sottomenu <menuchoice><guimenu>Desktop</guimenu><guisubmenu>Amministrazione</guisubmenu></menuchoice>.</para></note>
