This guide helps you to customize, modify, and enable/disable features present in UIKit.

<Tip>
  CometChat SDK & UI Kit both need to be configured before starting the customization in UI Kit.
</Tip>

***

To Modify and customize UI Kit, you need to refer to the `UIKitSettings` class present in the UI Kit Library. You will be easily able to modify the color, enable/disable some of the features which you won't require in your app.

<Warning>
  Important

  * UI Kit Settings must be called before launching any UI Screen or UI Unified. By default, all settings will be enabled.

  * For advanced level customization, you can modify the source code of the library as per your requirement.
</Warning>
