Styling

The Web Component uses the CSS pseudo-element ::part for styling. So you can style it the same way you would style a regular button element. Here's an example:

white-board::part(tools button) {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: white;
  background-color: black;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

Here is a diagram showing the different parts of the Web Component labeled.
