How to make Kivy Window fit the screen?

I'm trying to repositon the window since 

Window.size=(window_width,window_height)

takes the standard position of any Kivy app und so my program does not fit on the screen. I've tried 

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'position', 'custom')
Config.set('graphics', 'left', 0)
Config.set('graphics', 'top',  0)

at the beginning of my source, at the 

__main__

and in the build method of the app. Nothing seems to work. The same goes for setting the size with the config and possibly everything else with the Config

I've found the Problem by reading in the API of the Kivy Configuration Object. You need to set it at the very start or other imports can override the config!

In order to avoid situations where the config settings do not work or are not applied before window creation (like setting an initial window size), Config.set should be used before importing any other Kivy modules. Ideally, this means setting them right at the start of your main.py script.

You can approach it either your way and somehow find out system screen size

from kivy.config import Config
# topleft, size (50, 50)
Config.set('graphics', 'position', 'custom')
Config.set('graphics', 'left', 0)
Config.set('graphics', 'top',  0)
from kivy.core.window import Window
Window.size = (50, 50)  # input system window size

OR, you can set the Window to be fullscreen directly:

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'fullscreen', 1)

from kivy.app import runTouchApp
from kivy.uix.button import Button
runTouchApp(Button())
