System Settings > Apps > Shows all apps and most of them are greyed out / not available for selection. Instead List the **available items (that is for which settings can be configured) first in the page. For instance, Weather app settings was not easily discoverable for me and had to scroll across pages to access it.

Also, no real need to show grayed out app items? At least, ordering needs to be changed if displayed.

And I guess it will continue to be the case for most of them till this happens. https://together.jolla.com/question/46368/how-to-develop-settings-for-an-app-with-silica/

Present in Saimaa update as well.

I think it's a good observation. Also agree with "..no real need to show grayed out app items..". It will make this menu (Settings - Apps) more usefull. May be more developers will locate here setting of their apps.

AFAIK settings menu is prohibited for Jolla applications. The others are android apps, and there you can only set android specific parameters.

I'd prefer an alphabetical list, similar to "My apps" in the Store, of the apps that settings are available for. The grid doesn't work because the icons won't be in familiar places anyway (if you have used folders in the Launcher).

Yeah, I know, it is currently available only for Jolla made officla apps.

Anand, so you finally reactivated your Jolla again? :)

Good point! Additional suggestion: only show apps where configuration possible.

I puit it subtly as I was afraid if I ask to remove altogether that all may say in future we need it bla bla .. ;) So for now even if they do a simple sort it would be helpful and greyed ones can remain innocuous ...

In dev speak I meant to equip them with hide flags. :)

Another addition from this duplicated request: https://together.jolla.com/question/144333/jolla-app-configuration-in-settings-app-app-menu-at-bottom/

So my request is this: hide all apps without any possibility of configuration in this "Apps" menu from "Settings" app. Secondly please change the position of the apps-menu and the account-menu from bottom to the top. Additionally you could add a pulldown here to open both submenus!

Many thanks.
