 - **File**: You can change the animation here. You can select an image that is supplied with the applet or a personal image.
 - **Total frames in animation**: You need to specify here the number of frames of the selected image.
 - **Pause between frames**: You can specify here the pause in seconds between each frame in the animation. The default is 0.3 seconds, but the range is from 0.1 to 10 seconds.
-- **Rotate on vertical panels**: This checkbox is used for vertical panels, and when checked, the fish will appear swimming upwards on a vertical panel. If it is not checked, it will appear the same way as on a horizontal panel.
+- **Flip sideways on vertical panels**: This checkbox is used for vertical panels, and when checked, the fish will appear swimming upwards on a vertical panel. If it is not checked, it will appear the same way as on a horizontal panel.
+
+### Advanced Settings
+
+The **Advanced Settings** tab in the Preferences dialog allows further customization of the animation, such as adjusting its size and configuring margins around it within the panel.
 
 ## Known Bugs and Limitations
 
-This Cinnamon port of the Fish applet is in early development.
-If you prefer a stable and clean experience, check out the original applet for GNOME and MATE desktops.
+This Cinnamon port of the Fish applet is currently under development.
+For a more stable and polished experience, consider using the original applet available for GNOME and MATE desktops.
 
 ### Known Issues
 
-- lack of tests
-- missing translations
-- inconsistent, ugly styles
+- style issues:
   - message in popup might be cut or overlapped by scroll bars
-- lot's of TODOs in code
 
 Please feel free to provide feedback, report problems, or support the development of this applet.

+## Developer Options
+
+There is a hidden **Developer Options** section in the **Advanced Settings** tab of the Preferences dialog. This section contains options intended for debugging and development purposes. For example, it includes an option to trigger the Fool's Day easter egg without changing the system date. You can also add additional options here that should remain hidden from normal users.
+
+![Developer Options][advanced-settings-developer-options]
+
+### Enable Display of Developer Options
+
+The visibility of the **Developer Options** section is controlled by the `keyDeveloperOptionsEnabled` setting, which is of type `generic`. To enable it:
+
+1. Locate the Fish applet's configuration JSON file under: `~/.config/cinnamon/spices/fish@kriegcc`
+2. Modify the `keyDeveloperOptionsEnabled` value to `true`. The updated JSON entry should look like this:
+
+```json
+"keyDeveloperOptionsEnabled": {
+  "type": "generic",
+  "default": false,
+  "value": true
+}
+```
+
+3. Close the Preferences dialog (if it is open) and reopen it.
+
+The next time you open the applet preferences, the **Developer Options** section will be visible in the Advanced Settings tab.
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 Unhandled errors can easily lead to a crash of the Cinnamon desktop. When this happens, window decorations may disappear, and nothing may be clickable.
