NavigationView "crop" items text if PaneDisplayMode=LeftFluent

[marcoaoteixeira]

Hi everyone,

I started to play with WPF-UI and I think it's really great, so thank you guys for all effort that was put into it.

Ok, now, I'm pretty new to the WPF world and I'm a little bit frustrated with something. When using NavigationView, if I set PaneDisplayMode to LeftFluent, it "crops" the item text if it's too large. The sample in WPFUI Gallery has the same issue.

I try to use Snoop to find if there was a property that could change this behavior and what I found was that the Border control (MainBorder), inside the NavigationViewItem has a fixed width value of 60, defined in a resource called NavigationViewConstants (PaneFluentButtonWidth). If I change it (with Snoop) to another value, let's say 120, we then have more "room" and the text is displayed correctly.

So, my question, is there a way to change PaneFluentButtonWidth? Without need to override the NavigationViewItem whole template.

Thanks!
