Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
It's too hard to find out how to do something simple like change a setting. The settings are apparently buried under a grey square that rolls off the bottom of the screen during normal operation. To get to it, you seem to have to hover at the bottom left of the screen until the left margin scrolls up, then eventually a grey square comes along that doesn't look at all like settings (it's for Applications), then you have to go into the far right corner of the screen and hit System, then you can see your system control panel settings. Way too cumbersome and counterintuitive!

Thanks for testing unity and helping to make it better.
Which settings are you talking about? I'm not sure to follow you.
If it's what was in system -> administration or system -> preference, it's in the application places as you told.
Another way to launch them is to click on the ubuntu logo on top and click on application or entering an application name.
Maybe a member of the design team can answer there, setting it as opinion
