Configure Kivy¶
The configuration file for kivy is named config.ini, and adheres to the standard INI format.
Locating the configuration file¶
The location of the configuration file is controlled by the environment variable KIVY_HOME:
<KIVY_HOME>/config.ini
On desktop, this defaults to:
<HOME_DIRECTORY>/.kivy/config.ini
Therefore, if your user is named “tito”, the file will be here:
- Windows:
C:\Users\tito\.kivy\config.ini
- OS X:
/Users/tito/.kivy/config.ini
- Linux:
/home/tito/.kivy/config.ini
On Android, this defaults to:
<ANDROID_APP_PATH>/.kivy/config.ini
If your app is named “org.kivy.launcher”, the file will be here:
/data/data/org.kivy.launcher/files/.kivy/config.ini
On iOS, this defaults to:
<HOME_DIRECTORY>/Documents/.kivy/config.ini
Understanding config tokens¶
All the configuration tokens are explained in the kivy.config
module.
