Customize UI Kit - CometChat Docs

This guide helps you to customize, modify, and enable/disable features present in UIKit.

CometChat SDK & UI Kit both need to be configured before starting the customization in UI Kit.

To Modify and customize UI Kit, you need to refer to the UIKitSettings class present in the UI Kit Library. You will be easily able to modify the color, enable/disable some of the features which you won’t require in your app.

Important

UI Kit Settings must be called before launching any UI Screen or UI Unified. By default, all settings will be enabled.
For advanced level customization, you can modify the source code of the library as per your requirement.
