How to change notification center icons on Windows Phone 8.1?

On Windows Phone 10 there is a great feature implemented. When you swipe down on your screen, you get access to numerous settings, so you do not need to search for those under phone configuration screen. Windows 8.1 does not have that feature, so when to swipe down you can see only four configuration icons. Let’s see how you can adjust those to whatever you need.
