There is no way currently to do that from JS. You can customize it by using a custom theme. Check out android/src/main/res/values/styles.xml file from your project (template is here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/local-cli/generator-android/templates/src/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml) and read more here: https://developer.android.com/training/material/theme.html
