This sub-menu contains options to adjust the layout of Amarok.  There is also a checkbox to lock the configuration.  This can be used to prevent any accidental changes to the Amarok settings.

There are also two radio buttons in this sub-menu.  The buttons are used to choose which toolbar Amarok will use.  The Main Toolbar has a larger height and slightly different controls than the Slim Toolbar.  The Main Toolbar contains two main control buttons: A Play/Pause button as well a button for controlling the volume.  It also displays the name of the current media file and a slider for showing, as well as changing, the position of playback.
