Configure Kivy
==============

The configuration file for kivy is named `config.ini`, and adheres 
to the `standard INI <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file>`_ format.

Locating the configuration file
-------------------------------

The location of the configuration file is::

    <HOME_DIRECTORY>/.kivy/config.ini

Therefore, if your user is named "tito", the file will be here:

- Windows: ``C:\Users\tito\.kivy\config.ini``
- MacOSX: ``/Users/tito/.kivy/config.ini``
- Linux: ``/home/tito/.kivy/config.ini``


Understanding config tokens
---------------------------

All the configuration tokens are explained in the :mod:`kivy.config`
module.
