As of version 0.9.80, Cardapio now has a configuration dialog with access to *most* config options. For advanced configuration options, though, use the configuration file as described in Section 2 below.

    ~

Section 1: Simple Graphical Configuration
===========================

Simple: Right-click on the Cardapio window or on the Cardapio panel applet and choose "Properties".
When you're done, press "Apply" and then "Close".

    ~

Section 2: Advanced Configuration
===========================

The config file is found at ~/.config/Cardapio/config.json . It is a JSON-formatted file, which you can edit by hand.

Since that file gets overwritten every time Cardapio is closed, you should be sure to follow the steps below before editing it:

1) Close Cardapio:
 - if it's in your panel, remove it from there.
 - if you are running it in launcher mode, invoke it with Super+Space then press Alt+F4

2) Edit the configuration file:
 $ sudo gedit ~/.config/Cardapio/config.ini

3) Reopen Cardapio:
 - you can re-add it to the panel or open it in launcher mode as usual.
