Research direction

The issue identifies Emphasis as the area needing customization but names no implementation file or test. Start by locating Emphasis in the Swift macOS text-view code, then clarify which public customization points are required for colors, shadows, and rounded borders. Done means documenting and supporting an agreed customization approach.

Description

Hey! Thanks for the great NSTextView alternative. Is there a way to have some customization points, either by marking classes as open or by providing public properties? I'm specifically talking about Emphasis - I would like to change the look of the standard ones (to match the app design) by changing the color, removing shadows and adding a rounded border. Or maybe it's already possible but I just did not find? :) Thanks!
