Component Styling
Overview
CometChat UIKit enables developers to seamlessly integrate customizable components into their applications. Each component is designed to ensure a consistent user experience while offering flexibility to adapt to your app’s design system. You can modify attributes such as colors, fonts, sizes, icons, and more using XML or programmatically. Below is a detailed guide for styling individual components within the UIKit.
Components
Conversations
The CometChatConversations Component provides a list of recent chats, showing participants, message previews, and timestamps. It supports default themes while offering deep customization for text appearance, icons, and overall layout. With this component, you can create an intuitive and visually appealing chat list that matches your app’s branding.
import {
CometChatConversations,
CometChatUIKit,
CometChatThemeProvider,
} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";
///code
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<CometChatThemeProvider

//code
return (
<SafeAreaView
style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: "center", justifyContent: "center" }}

<CometChatThemeProvider
theme={{
light: {
actionSheetStyle: {
optionsItemStyle: {
containerStyle: {
backgroundColor: "yellow",
},

{loggedIn && (
<CometChatBottomSheet
style={{

}}
doNotOccupyEntireHeight={true}

<CometChatActionSheet
actions={[
{
id: "1",
