Ubuntu contains System Settings on PC (gnome-control-center), based on my original design from 2008. Ubuntu will soon also have some form of system settings interface on phone and tablet.
In line with the goal of a convergence device — not to mention, ordinary learnability and efficiency — these settings, and their categories, will be shared across form factors whenever practical. However, some settings will only ever make sense on one or two form factors.

This is an index of Ubuntu designs for System Settings. It does not yet include all settings panels included on the PC. It does include other things — such as version information — that, for want of a better position, are presented inside the System Settings UI in at least one form factor.

Whenever the search field is not empty, the rest of the System Settings main screen should consist only of those items matching the contents of the field. For example, if the search field contains “wallpa”, only the “Backgrounds” panel should remain. The search field should empty itself if you have switched to other apps for at least five minutes.
Like the other System Settings icons, the “Flight Mode” and “Orientation Lock” icons should represent their modes’ current state. Whenever you toggle Flight Mode in either direction, its icon should become a spinner until all connections have stopped or resumed as appropriate.
All other items in the main screen should act as page stacks, regardless of whether they are list items (like “About This Phone”) or grid items (like “Sounds”).
