# Config file

{% hint style="warning" %}
The config file is generated automatically and manual edits are not recommended. To modify configurations, use the [**Settings tab**](/cyber-engine-tweaks/console/settings.md) in the CET overlay.

For adjustments to fonts and other stuffs not available in the CET overlay, manual editing may be considered.
{% endhint %}

&#x20;The config file can be found in: [`<cet install path>`](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]`/config.json`

The config file is structured with two JSON layers, we use the format `<first level>.<second level>` to represent the key.

Consider the example JSON snippet below, the key for the base size of the font is noted as `font.base_size`, which carries a value of `16.0`.

```json5
{
    // other lines
    "font": {
        "base_size": 16.0,
        "language": "Default",
        "oversample_horizontal": 3,
        "oversample_vertical": 1,
        "path": ""
    },
    // other lines
}
```
