How do I turn off fullscreen in Kivy?

Question

All Kivy (1.8.0) applications run fullscreen on my PC by default. I need to turn fullscreen off for only one (not for each) Kivy application. Strange, but I haven't found the answer for this simple question. Probably, that's not Kivy, but Pygame, but anyway I don't know how to trun it off. Kivy and Pygame were taken from here.

You can configure the way window will be displayed using kivy.config.Config before importing any Kivy module. For example, to have fullscreen application (this shouldn't be enabled by default):

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'fullscreen', 'auto')

In your case you can try to set it explicitly:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'fullscreen', '0')

from kivy.app import App

class TestApp(App):
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    TestApp().run()

You can find details about graphics:fullscreen option in documentation.
