### Config Files
-One use of a config file is to set flags to execute by default.
-
-- This is set under the `[flags]` section.
-- These options are generally the same as the long names as other flags (ex: `case_sensitive = true`).
-- Note that if a flag and an option conflict, the flag has higher precedence (ex: if the `-c` and `temperature_type = kelvin` both exist, the Celsius temperature type is ultimately chosen).
-- For temperature type, use `temperature_type = "kelvin|k|celsius|c|fahrenheit|f"`.
-- For default widgets, use `default_widget = "cpu_default|memory_default|disk_default|temperature_default|network_default|process_default"`.
-
-Another use is to set colours, under the `[colors]`. The following labels are customizable with hex colour code strings:
-
-- Table header colours (`table_header_color="#ffffff"`).
-- Every CPU core colour as an array (`cpu_core_colors=["#ffffff", "#000000", "#111111"]`).
- - bottom will look at 216 (let's be realistic here) colours at most, and in order.
- - If not enough colours are provided for the number of threads on the CPU, then the rest will be automatically generated.
-- RAM and SWAP colours (`ram_color="#ffffff"`, `swap_color="#111111"`).
-- RX and TX colours (`rx_color="#ffffff"`, `tx_color="#111111"`).
-- Widget title colour (`widget_title_color="#ffffff"`).
-- General widget border colour (`border_color="#ffffff"`).
-- Current widget border colour (`highlighted_border_color="#ffffff"`).
-- Text colour (`text_color="#ffffff"`).
-- Label and graph colour (`graph_color="#ffffff"`).
-- Cursor colour (`cursor_color="#ffffff"`).
-- Current selected scroll entry colour (`scroll_entry_text_color="#282828"`, `scroll_entry_bg_color="#458588"`).

-- For Unix-based systems: `~/.config/btm/btm.toml`.
-- For Windows: TBD.
+The ability to use config files is supported by bottom to set boot flags by default, and set colour options. See [this document](./docs/config.md) for more details.
