Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is there any way to visually show the column resize handles in DataGrid?
I would like to show a subtly gray line between the columns headers to hint the user that he can drag and resize the columns. Currently it's difficult to tell if a column can be resized or not. In my app, some columns can be resized and some no.

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe adding a property like ResizeGripStyle would be nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can't find any way to style the grip without having to build a complicated system.

Research direction

Start by locating the DataGrid implementation and its column-header resize behavior. Determine how resize handles are currently rendered and identify the styling surface needed for a subtle visual separator or configurable grip style. Done means resizable columns can visibly indicate their handles without affecting non-resizable columns.
