Customize UI Appearance

You can customize the appearance of the TapTalkLive view's color scheme. To do this, open your application's colors.xml file and override the values present in TapTalk.io library's values.xml file.

Customize Default Color Theme

To customize the UI's color theme, open your colors.xml file and add override following values with your own colors:

colors.xml

<!--TapTalkLive Default Colors-->
<color name="ttlColorPrimaryExtraLight">@color/yourExtraLightColor</color>
<color name="ttlColorPrimaryLight">@color/yourLightColor</color>
<color name="ttlColorPrimary">@color/yourPrimaryLightColor</color>
<color name="ttlColorPrimaryDark">@color/yourDarkColor</color>
