Once a screen has been added to the drawer navigator, a new section in the screen's properties panel, Drawer Navigation Options, becomes available. This is where you define the screen's label that displays in the user's drawer navigator.
You have many options for styling your Drawer Navigator, such as changing the background color or tint color. Here are the different options for customization:
