Description
Problem Description
The Carousel control for 1.6 preview card in the Designer will only show the previous and next arrow controls on Windows 11 devices. If these are rendered in Windows 10 or Mac devices, they will see empty squares.
This is because the arrows are using fluent icons that are only included on Windows 11.

Research direction
