Update DataGrid Style
Describe the problem
I have discovered that the DataGrid component follows WinUI 3 (or Windows 11) styling. It doesn't look great, and really clashes with the look of my WinUI 3 app. Given that this is only grid component that can be used for WinUI 3 apps, I feel it's important to make it match the aesthetics of WinUI 3.
Describe the solution
I think that a new version of the DataGrid could be made, maybe called WinUI3DataGrid, or Win11DataGrid, or that the original DataGrid component could be renamed LegacyDataGrid and the new one called DataGrid.

Yes, but only if others can assist.
I'm not great with WinUI 3, but I can to really basic stuff. So I guess I should say:
Yes, but only if others can assist and it's really easy.

@BenjaminTGa see the work we're doing in https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/discussions/415
I also think you mean Windows 10 style? In either case, we wouldn't create a new control, but just update the existing style or create an alternate.
Though, we don't have plans in the near future to work on this component. It won't be part of our initial migration to the new repository at https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Windows
@niels9001 I think you did some poking here for TemplateStudio, should we dump that style in a gist for now?

Yes, I do mean the Windows 10 style. Most of the Windows Community Toolkit widgets follow that look, but, as I said before, it's the only grid component WinUI 3 has so it's important for it to follow WinUI 3 styling.
Looks good for the link you provided (Labs Windows). Just wondering how ready it is to be released.
