Asked by Thiago Teixeira

I heard you can customize Cardapio through I configuration file, but I can't find it anywhere!

The config file is found at ~/.config/Cardapio/config.ini . 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.
