Can you specify the big picture items we want to agree on? I think at a
high level, we all want a modern and polished UI. The realities of how that
is implemented and brought to life is were the conversation breaks into
subjective opinions and where we've had difficulties before.

Like Derick, I suggest taking the existing style guide as a starting point,
since that is what is currently implemented and what has tested positively
with numerous customers. After reviewing it, we can start by discussing
overarching design principles that are implemented (such as color,
typography, icons, and corner type) and apply those to all components. This
way, we ensure that the UI is updated across the board to maintain
cohesiveness and reflects a single design language. If needed, individual
components can be revisited once we have agreed on the big principles.
