Themes give you complete control over the styling, layout, and document structure of the TalkJS chat UI. From quick tweaks to fonts and colors, to completely changing the markup in certain areas. And it's not all about styling — it's about functionality too. You can create a theme that works great for a team chat app, mobile messenger, and even a live comments section next to a video livestream.
