[Feature Request]: Adding a bullet style option for the List component

[MichalDahanIBM]

The problem

Users find it confusing when a list item starts with "-" next to a server's name, which usually consists of dashes.

The solution

Adding another style for the current options (ordered/unordered), for example: Bullets style option

@MichalDahanIBM When you say, “Users find it confusing,” how many users are you considering out of the total number? What is the particular use case? Dashes are as common as bullets, so I would like to understand if a specific usage makes them confusing.

@laurenmrice @MichalDahanIBM — I wonder if a Plex arrow ( → )would be clearer and not conflict with the bullet level 2 square bullet.

Or, we can have both options available ( →and •) for use cases, and we can define when to use them.

Hi @mjabbink ,
I should have been more precise, it was our assessment that users could find it more confusing.
Servers names usually contain many "-" inside their names and we thought using bullets could be visually better to distinguish between the server name and the list row indicator.

From dev: you can always use a custom style with css overrides.

@mjabbink @aagonzales @laurenmrice weigh in.

I'm good with the Plex bullet scan alternative to the en dash in this use case
