Replacement for Ventura System Settings

No replacement exists sorry. The System Settings window layout cannot be altered.

You can use the search field at the top to find any setting you may want.

You can offer Apple Feedback, and if en ought people do, they may change the layout or offer a way to change it.

It is doubtful Apple will change it since they are making macOS and even the computer hardware more & more like an iPhone & iPad. However, you can provide Apple with product feedback here:

Tell your borther-in-law to search for the setting he wants in the first window that comes up like searching for spotlight settings in this screenshot:

It's way easier than trying to remember where everything is.

This article has a small chart for some of the common location changes (I thought I had seen a better version somewhere...thought it was Apple themselves, but I cannot find it now):

This article shows every section of the Ventura System Settings along with some explanations & pictures which may help a bit:

Try to stretch the settings panel so it vertically fills the screen. Then you can see most of the main items at a glance. And after a while you might get used to it. I did, and I prefer the new layout (but I do miss an option for timezone display options...).

System settings app needs a Grid layout view, and return the grouping or Alphabetical. Allow for window size to be enlarged via a Font enlargement for just System Settings. I am unable to read anything without enlarging the entire system display resolution.

My work around for the time being is to use the Zoom feature (quick key set to Control+Scroll) to zoom into on just the system settings area and make a change, but this is just foolishness.

You can regress to Monterey if you really want to.
