Research direction
Reproduce the Jetpack Slideshow block on a self-hosted site using the Twenty Twenty One theme, with multiple images, in Chrome or Firefox. Inspect the Slideshow block's control styling and compare it with a theme where the controls are visible; done means the controls have clear contrast and their indication is visible when clicked.
