 ## Configuration options
 
 The package can be configured with using several variables. These variables can
-either be passed directly to build command line or set in the application
-Makefile.
-
-### Graphical settings
-
-- `LVGL_COLOR_DEPTH`: configure the color depth in bit of the screen (default: 16)
-- `LVGL_COLOR_16_SWAP`: enable byte swap when communicating with the screen
-  driver (default: 1, enabled)
-
-### Memory settings
-
-`LVGL_MEM_SIZE`: configure the maximum memory size used by lvgl. This depends
-on the number of lvgl widgets and objects used by the interface (default:
-5U*1024U, 5KiB). Must be greater than 2KiB.
+either be configured using CFLAGS or using Kconfig (via `make menuconfig`).
+LVGL_TASK_THREAD_PRIO cannot be configured via Kconfig.
 
 ### Engine settings
 
-- `LVGL_INACTIVITY_PERIOD_MS`: maximum inactivity period before going to sleep in ms.
-  (default: 1s)
-- `LVGL_TASK_HANDLER_DELAY_US`: delay between lvgl task handle call in ms.

+- `CONFIG_LVGL_TASK_HANDLER_DELAY_US`: delay between lvgl task handle call in us.
