 Show Notes Can it be styled? Solutions 04:28 - Just style the defaults
 Most elements can be styled, though some elements are really just multiple elements grouped together into the shadow dom and are hard to style.
 This leads to us having to re-create the visual UI, and often is a point of making inaccessible UIs.
 Select
 Input - number, date, etc. Very hard to style
 Often need appearance: none; for mobile
 
 Checkbox / Radio
 Generally speaking, these CSS Properties can be applied to all inputs: font-size
 color
 padding
 margin
 background / images
 outline (remember focus)
 border
 
 08:20 - Overlap with more dom elements, set background images
 Checkbox / Radio / Toggle buttons Often used :before and :after along with labels — e.g. label + input:checked
 
 Select can have element overlap
 14:13 - Re-implement the UI with JavaScript
 Video / Audio HUGE rabbit hole of things to code
 
 Very important to maintain accessibility
 15:46 - Use a UI Library
 Bootstrap

 Foundation

 Ant Design

 Carbon Design

 Fast

 Lightning Design System

 Material Design

 Chakra

 17:20 - Open UI
