Research direction

Start by examining the PropertyGrid control's styling and its interaction with MaterialDesignThemes 4.9.0 in the WPF .NET 6.0 context described here. No source file or test is named; completion would require identifying how to prevent category-expander captions from being trimmed and improve their foreground color, then verifying the result against the reported screenshot.

Description

Hello everybody.

We are using the Extended.Wpf.Toolkit 4.5.0 into a WPF .NET 6.0 project that also uses the MaterialDesignThemes 4.9.0.
The PropertyGrid control works fine except its styling.
We most ugly issues are the captions of the category expander: they are trimmed and the foreground color is too light.
Please see the screenshot below for more details.
How can we change the style of these elements?

Thanks in advance.
