Proposal: Styling a MGT component should allow more flexibility than just CSS variables

Description

Styling is a big topic for MGT and we should have a better story for developers. Developers like our CSS variables but it's sometimes limiting. Developers would prefer to have a greater control over their styling, especially because of the "challenges" created by the Shadow DOM.

Rationale

Preferred Solution

This is still a work in progress, but here are a couple of areas we think we could explorer :

• CSS Shadow Parts (Still under public draft, so might be too early)
• More CSS variables
• etc...

Browser support for ::part() is pretty good now, https://caniuse.com/?search=%3A%3Apart , and probably the best way we have outside of more CSS variables.

It would be a great way to offer customization!
