Whats the best way to expose current settings to your classes?

Question

Just as the title states, whats the best way to expose current settings like resolution to my classes? (I know this might have been asked, but I couldn't find anything)

I was thinking of the service-locator design pattern, but I am unsure, as I read that it can be abused easily.( I mean it might not fit this particular use-case )

You're right, I guess I am just complicating things. Please post that as an answer(perhaps with more reasoning) and I'll accept it. — akaltar, Jul 26 '13 at 17:04
I bet a search on Stackoverflow would answer this, since it's not specifically gamedev related. — House, Jul 26 '13 at 17:25

Just make them global until you determine that it's a detriment to your system.

Don't add complexity unless you're getting some benefit out of it.
