But not all setting in gnome-control-center work with budgie, because at this time Budgie desktop is heavily under development, so there are will be minor bugs and for new features will be added in the next version.

But so far it's usable and simply desktop environment inspired by gnome 2 desktop, you can also add docky for better appearance.
