Hi,

I am new to Kivy, been playing with for a few weeks.

I have run a sample code from the documentation and since then any kivy program i run returns a borderless fullscreen and this is despite the fact that the windows or any config has not been set from the sample code. Also, the config.ini file has not been reset. The sample code is under the kivy.core.window.Keyboard class.

My question is how do I now return to the normal window size and state (with borders and default kivy size).

Please help.

Thank you.

Have you tried using the Window?

https://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.core.window.html

Also the graphics section here: https://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.config.html

Sound like you can just set Window.fullscreen = False?

Peace out

Hi Enemona,
dont know if your code changes the kivy settings but on windows you can hit 'F1' (function key on top of your keyboard) where you can set the kivy settings manually. There is a toggle for window/fullscreen.

Hi Zencode,

Thank you for your response. I had tried setting up the fullscreen in the config.ini file yet no result. I have done it by pressing F1 and setting the fullscreen to zero, as suggested by Monty Mole below. Thanks again. Cheers.

Are you referring to using the F1 key in a kivy app? I wasn't aware of anything like that and it doesn't work for me.

yes when I press F1 in a kivy App I get the settings screen. it is the default keystroke (at least on windows...). It's even in the official kivy doc :)
