@Felix-Dev can you provide a screenshot highlighting the UI part in question? |

@StephenLPeters Sure. The UI with its margin configurable via lightweight styling has been marked in a red background in the pics below: Today, the margin can be customized via lightweight-styling in the Left pane display mode. Support for this is currently missing in the Top pane display mode (including the overflow menu). |

This could be important when developing an Xbox control template for the control. There are special requirements of safe areas and moving content inwards that this could help with |

Thanks, the photos help with the proposal process quite a bit :) |

Proposal: NavigationView should expose lightweight styling resources to customize the margin of the NavigationViewItem's IconBox in Top pane display mode
Summary
The NavigationView right now only exposes a lightweight-styling resource to set the margin of the NavigationViewItem's IconBox in Left pane display mode:
microsoft-ui-xaml/dev/NavigationView/NavigationView_rs1_themeresources.xaml
Line 682 in 8aaf7f8
A corresponding resource for the Top pane display mode is currently missing:
microsoft-ui-xaml/dev/NavigationView/NavigationView_rs1_themeresources.xaml
Line 1140 in 8aaf7f8
This proposal aims to close the gap by introducing two new resources:
While the naming scheme differs from the existing resource in Left pane display mode - which is named
NavigationViewItemOnLeftIconBoxMargin- that naming scheme used there is inconsistent with the naming scheme used by the vast majority of the other NavigationView theme resources. The prefixes "NavigationView" or "TopNavigationView" are overwhelmingly used to distinguish between specific theme resources for the NavigationView in Left mode and in Top mode, respectively. (Issue #2906 has been created to track the task to provide a consistent lightweight styling experience for the NavigationView.) As such, I suggest we follow the commonly used naming scheme here for these two proposed resources (instead of introducing them using a naming scheme which means they will potentially have to be updated in the future).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
