Extending/Mimicing default components in custom theme

[EtzBetz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to use the existing structure of VitePress, with kind of the same Layout, but different styling. I was thinking I would just build a custom theme, but it seems like I cannot access e.g. the navbar configs. Or at least I wouldnt know how?

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to know how I can build my own custom theme, using all the default data that i would provide otherwise using the default theme.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using the default theme but changing it up, but I doubt that it's flexible enough. another thing would be to just for vitepress and implementing my own default theme, but I doubt that it's thought to be done like that.

Yeah we probably should allow this.

Regarding custom theme, you can get the data you need using useData.

If it is just the styles, you can easily override them I suppose.
