How to change the settings type and position of a kivy app?

I not able to find out how to change the type of the displayed settings panel used in my kivy app. I currently use following code to create the panel:
def build_config(self, config):
config.read("settings.ini")
App.build_config(self, config)
def build_settings(self, settings):
settings.size_hint = (0.8, 0.8)
settings.pos = (200,200)
settings.interface_cls = SettingsWithSidebar()
settings.add_json_panel("General Settings", self.config,
filename="settings_general.json")
settings.add_json_panel("Analysis", self.config,
filename="settings_analysis.json")
App.build_settings(self, settings)
That gives me the standard SettingsWithSidebar panel, which looks relatively ugly. I want to change that to standard Settings panel, which looks imo much nicer, but cannot find out how to do it.
I looked at the docs and found the interface_cls property, but changing its value to Settings() or SettingsWithSidebar() seems to do nothing.
My second problem is that i do not know how to set the position of the settings panel according to the position of the app (the 200,200 are a placeholder). I know how that can be accomplished in kv-language, but i do not know how i can reference the pos of the app before it is created. I do want to bind the center of the settings panel to the center of the application window, but i cannot find sources on how to accomplish that task.

I suspect you should leave off the()when setting yourinterface_cls.

You mean i should simply set it to "Settings" instead of "Settings()"? I also tried that but it also did not work.

Actually, I thinkSettingsis the same asSettingsWithSidebar. Look at the documenttion and choose a class from there that is identified as asettings widget.

Okay, i found the solution to my problem:
To use any other Settings panel than the standard one, one has to change the settings_cls property of the App class, not of the Settings itself. This can be done by adding
self.settings_cls = Settings # Desired settings class
to the build method of the app.
To change the position of the Settings popup, one has to change the pos_hint of Settings object given to the build_settings method of the app class. Example: To change the size of the settings window to 90% of the app size and then position it in the center of the app, one has to add:
settings.pos_hint = ({"center_x": .5, "center_y": .5})
settings.size_hint = (0.9, 0.9)
to the build_settings method (where settings is the settings object passed to the method) before calling App.build_settings(self, settings).
