Read the full case studyReady-made chat UI you can customize
The chat UI comes with three different layouts—that are highly customizable—which you can mix and match to suit your needs. You have complete control over the styling, the layout, and document structure of the chat messages and the possibility to show metadata.
The TalkJS Inbox shows the chat history on the left, selected conversation on the right. It's designed to act as the messaging center of your app, usually living on its own page.
The TalkJS Chatbox is just the right half of the Inbox UI mode. It takes up less space and is designed to be embedded in your app near an order confirmation, a booking, or user profile.
You can also show a conversation in a popup that only shows up when the user clicks a button somewhere. When shown, the popup is positioned on the bottom right of your page.
Customize everything and anything
Themes give you full control over the styling, layout, and structure of the TalkJS chat UI. You can customize:
- Fonts, colors, and spacing
- Layouts for inbox, chatbox, and popup
- Message bubbles and system messages
- Markup and document structure
- Use cases like live comments next to video
Themes go beyond appearance—they shape functionality too. Build a theme that fits your product, whether it’s a team chat app, a mobile messenger, or a live comments section next to a video stream.
