      S76 devs have stated they're not going to expose all the possible configurations you can make to COSMIC via the settings app (taking a more GNOME approach rather than a KDE one) but that third-party developers can create COSMIC-tweaks esque applications to modify a part of a desktop beyond the exposed GUI settings. Applets will work in the same way with a handful of 1st party applets that can be accompanied by community ones.
