CSS

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the classes property. This property accepts the following keys:

Name	Description
root	Styles applied to the (normally root) component element. May be wrapped by a container.
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.
alignItemsFlexStart	Styles applied to the component element if alignItems="flex-start".
disabled	Styles applied to the inner component element if disabled={true}.
divider	Styles applied to the inner component element if divider={true}.
gutters	Styles applied to the inner component element if disableGutters={false}.
button	Styles applied to the inner component element if button={true}.
secondaryAction	Styles applied to the component element if children includes ListItemSecondaryAction.
selected	Styles applied to the root element if selected={true}.

Have a look at overriding with classes section and the implementation of the component for more detail.

If using the overrides key of the theme, you need to use the following style sheet name: MuiListItem.
