According to the module project page:

[This is] a small module that lets you control the format of the "Submitted by" information on your content per content type. It adds a fieldset to your node edit form called Appearance that lets you put in a tokenized pattern for the text you want to display.

When you first considered the Node Form Settings module, you were thinking about the hiding the node title. But this module also allows you to control the display of other node related features that are typically seen in the add/edit forms.

The screen shot below shows you want you can do with this module. (You might notice that the screen shot does not show the "hide title" option. It is located in the Workflow settings tab.)

Panels surfaces once again, this time as an option for changing how the add/edit node forms are presented to the user. Unlike the display used to view the node, you don't get control of the individual fields but you do get the option to add other content such as the description of the content type and custom instructions.

The screen shot below shows an example of how you can change the add node form.

A more practical alternative to the default block admin approach is the Context module. It is a different way of thinking about block layouts. With Drupal's block administration, you focus on the individual block - "Where will this block appear?" With the Context module, you are focused on the "context." But what does that mean?

Like the Composite module, Panels can be used to create a page that looks like it has sidebars but in actuality it is the Panels module that is doing all the work.

Panels has the same layouts Composite as well as the option to create your own layouts. The screen shot below shows an example of an alternative three column layout that you can use for a page. This is Panels' flexible layout feature. It allows you to create the page layout you need.
