Display
How the platform is displayed to users — homepage layout, gravatar, menus, branding behaviour and similar visual preferences.
Access these settings under Administration > Configuration settings > Display. This category contains 24 settings, listed below with the title and comment shipped in the platform's settings fixtures (SettingsCurrentFixtures.php).
The variable name in code is shown in monospace. Use it when scripting via the API or when you need to change those settings at a global level by editing
config/settings_override.yaml.
