It seems like things are starting to settle in with GNOME 2.19, and more specifically, the Appearance applet. Those who have wondered why there are so many different dialogs for doing similar things in GNOME have had their query answered. The final form presents one clean, organized application that lets you configure most display settings from one window.

I recorded this short video to show the changes (embedded below).

Hit the [CC] button for some descriptions. Yes, this change is old, however this appears to be the final form. I personally found it strange that GNOME, focused on keeping it simple and spread out, choose to merge this. However, it is still a welcomed change.
