The kivy_config: section of your config is where you configure kivy.

You can directly configure kivy here. Usually you don't need this but in some cases it allows some additional tweaking (e.g. for embedded workloads). All options are documented in the kivy config documentation.

This is an example:

kivy_config:
  kivy:
    desktop: 1
    exit_on_escape: true
  graphics:
    borderless: false
    fbo: hardware  # hardware, software, force-hardware
    fullscreen: false
    multisamples: 2
    position: auto  # auto, custom
    show_cursor: true
    resizable: true
