Theme resources
A theme is a style that's applied to your entire app, activity or view hierarchy rather than an individual view. By default, Sendbird UIKit for React provides two themes: Light and Dark. Customized themes that fit your brand identity can also be created by changing the style and color set.
Set up the theme
UIKit for React provides two themes: Light and Dark. Its themes can be applied using the App and SendbirdProvider components.
Light theme
This is the default Light theme for UIKit if another theme hasn't been specified.
Background color
The background color of each component in Light theme ranges from Background-50 to Background-300.
Texts and other element colors
The following image shows the color scheme used for texts and other elements on light backgrounds.
UI elements and status colors
Primary-main and Secondary-main colors are used to highlight UI elements such as icon buttons, outgoing message bubbles, and read receipt icons. Error-main is used for warnings and Information-light is currently used for a status banner indicating frozen channels.
Dark theme
A dark theme is a user interface designed for low-light environments, featuring primarily dark surfaces. It serves as an alternative option to the default light theme, presenting dark-colored surfaces throughout much of the interface.
The Dark theme is as shown below:
Note : The global theme should be configured prior to setting the view controller or creating a chat view.
