Description

### Description

In a .Net MAUI Windows app with the flyout menu enabled, the area that the "hamburger" takes seems way too wide, pushing my title over and making the title bar look kind of odd. Is there a way to reduce the width that the hamburger wants to take so that I can tighten this up some? I'm new to MAUI but not to C# - is there a setting I've missed?

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Create the .Net MAUI starter app and run it on Windows.
2. The flyout activator takes up much more width than it needs, so the space between the "hamburger" and the title is too wide and looks odd.

Research direction

Start by creating the .NET MAUI starter app and running it on Windows with the flyout menu enabled, as described in the reproduction steps. Inspect the flyout activator and title-bar layout to determine whether its width can be adjusted; done means the hamburger area is narrower and no longer pushes the title into an awkward position.
