Is there a render prop or some way I can build custom react for the loading states and message states like the “No Messages” one? It would be great if I could customize my sb implementation to be fully in-line with my brand!

Hello @Mark_Buckner,
Welcome to the Sendbird Community. We do not currently expose the ability to pass in these types of custom elements into the UIKit. You would need to override the parent component and implement this on your own. You can take a look at our Open Source code to see how a lot of it operates under the hood and use it as a basis to rebuild the necessary components:
