Example: Brand Color Override

src/cometchat-overrides.css

/* Change the primary brand color globally — target .cometchat (the root wrapper) */
.cometchat {
  --cometchat-primary-color: #e91e63;
  --cometchat-extended-primary-color-500: #e91e63;
  --cometchat-extended-primary-color-600: #d81b60;
  --cometchat-extended-primary-color-700: #c2185b;
}

Example: Dark Mode Override

[data-theme="dark"] {
  --cometchat-primary-color: #bb86fc;
  --cometchat-background-color-01: #121212;
  --cometchat-background-color-02: #1e1e1e;
}

Always target .cometchat or [data-theme="..."] for global overrides. For per-component overrides, use the component’s BEM class name directly (e.g., .cometchat-conversations). See Theming for details.
