+# Theming
+
+Hello everyone,
+
+After setting up the project, you can explore the project's components to understand how theming is implemented.
+
+## Using Emotion for Styling
+
+We use [Emotion](https://emotion.sh/) for styling our components. Theming is implemented by providing a theme object that includes a `components` field.
+
+For example:
+
+```json
+"components": {
+  "ChatInput": {
+    "styleOverrides": {
+      "fontWeight": 400,
+      "color": "gray",
+      "border": "1px solid black"
+    },
+    "classNames": "myCustomClassForChatInput"
+  },
+  "Message": {
+    "classNames": "myCustomClass"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In the above example:
+ - theme.components.ChatInput.styleOverrides would be applied to the style of the ChatInput component.
+ - theme.components.ChatInput.classNames would be applied to the className of the ChatInput component.
+
+## Using the useComponentsOverrides Hook
+We provide a `useComponentsOverrides` hook that returns the necessary data for component customization.
+
+```jsx
+import { useComponentOverrides } from '../../theme/useComponentOverrides'; 
+
+export const MessageBody = ({
+  children,
+  className = '',
+  style = {},
+  ...props
+}) => {
+  const { styleOverrides, classNames } = useComponentOverrides(
+    'MessageBody',
+    className,
+    style
+  );
+
+  return (
+    <Box
+      css={MessageBodyCss}
+      className={appendClassNames('ec-message-body', classNames)}
+      style={styleOverrides}
+      {...props}
+    >
+      <p>{children}</p>
+    </Box>
+  );
+};
+```
+## Adding Classes to Components
+We also add a class to each component. For example, `ec-message-body` for the MessageBody component.
+
+Feel free to explore and customize these components according to your project's needs.
+
+If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
+
+Happy theming!
