Customized styles
By specifying CSS variables, you can customize the chat bubble styles, including the background color, font color, and animation delays.
For example:
<style>
chat-bubble {
--chat-bubble-color: #F5F5F5;
--chat-bubble-right-color: blue;
--chat-bubble-font-color: #333;
--chat-bubble-font-right-color: white;
--chat-bubble-avatar-color: yellow;
--chat-bubble-delay: 0.2s;
}
</style>
In this example, the --chat-bubble-color
variable is set to #F5F5F5
, which is a light gray color that will be used as the background color for the chat bubble.The --chat-bubble-font-color
variable is set to #333
, which is a dark gray color that will be used as the font color (text color) for the chat bubble.
The --chat-bubble-right-color
variable is set to blue, which will be used as the background color for chat bubbles that are aligned to the right. The --chat-bubble-font-right-color
variable is set to white, which will be used as the font color for chat bubbles that are aligned to the right.
The --chat-bubble-avatar-color
variable is set to yellow
, which means that the chat bubble avatar will be displayed in yellow color. You can customize this variable by adjusting its value to match your design preferences.
Finally, the --chat-bubble-delay
variable is set to 0.2s
, which means that the chat bubble display animation will be delayed by 0.2 seconds. You can customize these variables by adjusting their values to match your design preferences.
