**SendBird React Native UIKit documentation does not provide sufficient details regarding the chat screen UI Customization.**
3.12.3
Hello Team,
I would like to customize the theme colors of the Sendbird SDK default components, such as the header back button, attachment button and message action icons (reply, copy, delete). Additionally, I mainly want to update the background color of messages, change the message text color and add a border to the message box—while keeping all the default functionality of the Sendbird SDK unchanged for the chat screen.
Please let me know how I can achieve this, as the documentation does not provide sufficient details regarding chat screen customization.
Thanks & regards,
Pradeep Kale

I am having the same issues. The documentation is extremely limited. Team is blocked until we get guidance here.
