Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
UIKit offers UIAppearance as a way to customize controls in your app. UIDocumentBrowserViewController however doesn’t allow to customize any of its controls with UIAppearance, which is unfortunate since it leads to all apps using it looking exactly the same

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached DocumentBrowser-based app
2. observe that it looks the same as Files.app

Expected Results:
It’s possible to customize the appearance of UIDocumentBrowserViewController with the help of UIAppearance

Actual Results:
UIBrowserViewController ignores any styles set with the UIAppearance Proxy

Version:
iOS 11b2

Notes:
I know that there’s .browserUserInterfaceStyle and that it’s possible to customize the tintColor, but that’s not enough customization possibilities needed
