container Styles applied to the container element if children includes ListItemSecondaryAction.
focusVisible Styles applied to the component's focusVisibleClassName property if button={true}.
default Legacy styles applied to the root element. Use root instead.
dense Styles applied to the component element if dense={true} or children includes Avatar.
