To review the rendering of the component, refer to the HTML specifications in the Kendo UI Themes Monorepo. The tests folder of the repository contains the rendering for all flavors of the components, providing a clear reference for how their elements are structured. The rendering information can help you customize a component's appearance and behavior by applying custom CSS or JavaScript to suit specific design or functional requirements.
