Customize UI Kit

This guide helps you to enable/disable features present in the UI Kit.

In order to achieve this, you need to refer to the UIKitSettings class present in the UI Kit Library.

• UI Kit Settings parameters have to be changed in the UIKitSettings class located at CometChatWorkspace/src/util. By default, all settings will be enabled.
• For advanced level customization, you can modify the source code of the UI Kit as per your requirement.
