Cannot use custom tab bar react native

Question

I'm trying to create a custom tab bar using @react-navigation/material-bottom-tabs but I can't edit the whole tab bar here's my code:

import { createMaterialBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/material-bottom-tabs';

const Tab = createMaterialBottomTabNavigator();

function MyTabs() {
  return (
    <Tab.Navigator tabBar={props => <MyTabBar {...props} />}>
      <Tab.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
      <Tab.Screen name="Settings" component={SettingsScreen} />
    </Tab.Navigator>
  );
}

You can use renderLabel and renderIcon method and if you want to use tabBar you need to use @react-navigation/bottom-tabs instead of @react-navigation/material-bottom-tabs like this:

import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';

const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

function MyTabs() {
  return (
    <Tab.Navigator tabBar={props => <MyTabBar {...props} />}>
      <Tab.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
      <Tab.Screen name="Settings" component={SettingsScreen} />
    </Tab.Navigator>
  );
}
