Config file

Description of all the configuration variables available

The config file is generated automatically and manual edits are not recommended. To modify configurations, use the Settings tab in the CET overlay.

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

The config file can be found in: /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.

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