Advanced customization

Besides basic customization, there are further advanced customization possibilities utilizing CSS variables (opens in a new tab), where you can define themes with custom styling and apply them at widget runtime.

By enabling this option, you can align the chat widget's appearance with your brand's logo, colors, and visual identity.

If you want to use the advanced customization option, the following is required:

1. On the Live Chat configuration application, declare customization configuration (structure of the JSON described later).
2. To set the current theme of the widget, use JS SDK API → liveChat('set_theme', 'theme_name'), e.g., liveChat('set_theme', 'dark')

Customization configuration structure

The ability to define themes and styles for the widget is facilitated by setting the theme in the JSON file. This file's content should then be inserted into the input text area on the widget configuration page. The structure of the JSON is as follows:

 
    {
      "themes": {
        "default": {
          "lc-chat-message-agent-bubble-background-color": "#f7f7f7",
          "lc-chat-message-agent-bubble-text-color": "#000",
          "another_variable_name": "variable_value"
        },
        "dark": {
          "lc-chat-message-agent-bubble-background-color": "#000",
          "lc-chat-message-agent-bubble-text-color": "#f7f7f7",
          //...
        },
        "another_theme_name": {
          //...
        }
      }
    }
 

When defining themes, the only required theme name is default. This theme is applied by default when advanced customization configuration is detected, and a widget is initiated on your page (if set_theme API was not called before). The selection of other themes and their respective names relies on your preferences. For instance, as shown above, the theme named "dark" could be assigned to the widget when the user activates dark mode on their device/browser.

Each theme is represented as an object of key and value pairs. The key represents the name of the CSS variable, and the value represents the CSS value as a string.
You do not need to add all supported CSS variables in your theme definition, only those for which you want to override their default values.

Supported CSS variables

Each CSS variable name follows the atomic design (opens in a new tab). They are declared based on the following structure:

lc-{section}-{organism}-{molecules}-{atoms}

• lc - prefix for all CSS variables related to Live Chat
• section - main parts that build the Live Chat widget (header, chat, footer, etc.)
• organism - larger items that exist within a section that can be broken down into molecules (form, carousel, thread item, etc.)
• molecules - smallest building blocks, as Live Chat is written in React you can imagine it as the bottom layer of react components (header title, avatar, bubble, etc.)
• atoms - specific CSS property that the variable is overriding (background-color, padding, border-radius, etc.)

Below is a comprehensive list of all currently supported CSS variables, along with their names and information regarding the styles they affect (including the default values). They are categorized into different blocks based on the part of the widget they are related to.

Set a theme

To apply the theme to the Live Chat widget on your website, you can use the JS SDK API:

liveChat('set_theme', 'theme_name')

You can call the JS SDK API before initializing the widget, and it will be applied when the widget is rendered on your page. Similarly, calling the API after widget initialization will result in the immediate application of changes. If the API is not called but advanced customization is defined with a default theme, it will automatically apply upon widget initialization.

In case of errors, such as an incorrect JSON structure or calling the API with a non-existent theme, the default values for CSS variables are used, or the previously set theme remains unchanged.
